INTRODUCTION The Integrated Natural Resources and Environmental Management Project is a special project being implemented by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in the Chico Upper River Basin (CURB) in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) and in three other priority river basins in the country.1 With particular focus on indigenous peoples (IPS) and resource-poor communities, the project aims to reduce and reverse the degradation of watersheds and associated environmental services caused by forest denudation and unsustainable farming practices. Within Mountain Province, CURB2 covers the sub-watersheds of the KAlawitan, BAyudan, MAlitep and AMlosong Rivers, which comprise the KABAMAAM WMU, in the municipalities of Bauko, Bontoc, Sabangan and Sagada. The focal barangays in Sabangan for the implementation of INREM subprojects are Bun-ayan, Camatagan, Capinitan and Supang. These barangays in Sabangan are indigenous communities belonging to the Northern Kankanaey ethnic group. In relation to its aim of restoring ecological stability and biodiversity conditions of degraded forest lands and protected areas in the target watersheds, INREMP supports natural resources management (NRM) subprojects to be implemented by partner people’s organizations (POs) that are selected and endorsed by the communities and that pass the requirements of the DENR. In degraded forest lands and conservation areas that are above > 50 %, the restoration techniques for natural resources management (NRM) include: - Reforestation aims to rehabilitate and restore open areas through planting of forest tree seedlings that have undergone nursery operations - Assisted natural regeneration (ANR) aims for the restoration and
