Ruic 1.2 This Order applies to the following: I. The remaining initial components of the NIP AS; 2. Protected areas established by Congressional legislation; 3. Protected areas proclaimed by the President under the NIP AS; and 4. Areas covered by Presidential Proclamation or Executive Order and recommended by the Secretary for inclusion into the System. Sectio11 2. Declaratio11 of Policy. - Cognizalll ofthe profound impact ofhuman activities on all components of the natural environment particularly the effect of increasing population, resource exploitation and industrial advancement, and recognizing the critical importance ofprotecting and maintaining the natural, biological, and physical diversities ofthe environment notably on areas with biologically unique features to sustain human life and development, as well as plant and animal life, it is hereby declared the policy of the State to secure for the Filipino people ofpresent and for.future generations, the perpetual existence of all native plants and animals through the establishment of a comprehensive system of integrated protected areas within the classification of national park as provided/or in the Constitution. 1 RA No. 11038 entitled "An Act Declaring Protected Areas and Providing for 1l1cir Management, Amending for this Purpose RA No. 7586, Otherwise Known as the "National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) Act of 1992", and for Other Purposes" or known as the "Expanded National Integrated Protected Areas System Act of 2018" (22 June 2018). Legend: (a) - amended; (n) - new section/paragraph; (number [letter)) - former section number and/or item. For cxamplc:"4" means this was Section 4 of the old law; "( 10[ d])" means this was Section 10 item d of the old law; "(20[ c]a)" means that this was Section 20 item c of the old law and was amended. No end notation means the section number and text arc unchanged. It is hereby recognized that these areas, although distinct in features, possess common ecological values that may be incorporated into a holistic plan to conserve and protect our natural heritage; that effective administration of these areas is possible only through cooperation among the national government, local governments, concerned nongovcrnmcnt organizations, private organizations, and local communities; that the use and enjoyment of these protected areas must be consistent with the principles ofbiological diversity and sustainable development. (a) To this end, there is hereby established a National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS), which shall encompass ecologically rich and unique areas and biologically important public lands that arc habitats of rare and threatened species of plants and animals, biogcographic zones and related ecosystems, whether terrestrial, wetland or marine, all of which shall be designated as 'protected areas'. The System shall recognize conscn•ation areas and the management regimes being implemented by local government units (LGUs), local comm1mitics and indigenous peoples (IPs). (a) The State shall ensure the full implementation of this Act, the mobilization of resources for the institutional mechanisms herein established, and the full scientific and tcclmical support needed for the conscn•ation ofbiodiversity and the integrity of the ecosystems, culture and indigenous practices. (n) Ruic 2.1 The specific policies governing the establishment and management of the NIP AS shall be as follows: a. The protected areas and their immediate vicinities shall be contiguous to ensure their integrity. Police power and eminent domain may be exercised to achieve this policy. b. Protected areas should complement each other in terms of taxonomic representation, species migration patterns, maintenance of essential ecological processes and life support systems, and efficiency in conservation costs. c. The management plan of protected areas shall be harmonized in consonance with the principles of biological diversity and sustainable development. d. The management of the NIP AS shall contribute to the significant reduction of biodiversity loss. It shall consider the ability of ecosystems to adapt to the impacts of rapid climate change, reduce disaster risks, and mitigate anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Ruic 2.2 In order to achieve the aforementioned policies of the NIP AS, the following strategics shall be adopted: a. In selecting areas for inclusion in the NIPAS, the conservation priority areas in each of the identified biogeographic zones, in both aquatic and terrestrial environments, shall be primarily considered. b. The NIP AS should complement the designation, creation or establishment of similar conservation areas under other domestic laws, and the management regimes of LGUs, local communities, and indigenous cultural communities/indigenous peoples (ICCs/IPs). This must likewise be consistent with, and supportive of the obligations of the Philippines under treaties and international laws. For this purpose, the metes and bounds of these areas may be necessary. c. The sustainability of the NIP AS depends on the collaboration of all stakeholders through Page 2 of55 a functional, transparent, accountable, and participatory governance mechanism; the judicious use of the Integrated Protected Arca Fund; fair and equitable benefit-sharing mechanisms; and the development of other means for the sustainable management of protected areas prescribed under the NIP AS Act, as amended. Sectio11 3. Categories. - Tlze following categories o_fprotected areas are hereby established: a. Strict nalllre reserve; b. Natural park; c. Natural monument; d. Wildlife sanctuary; e. Protected landscapes and seascapes; f Resource resen•e; g. Nafllral biotic areas; and, lz. Other categories established by law, conventions or international agreements which the Philippine Government is a signatory. Ruic 3. 1 The determination of the category of the proposed protected area shall be consistent with the Protected Arca Category Matrix prescribed by the DENR. Ruic 3.2 Other criteria used in determining categories not listed in the NIP AS Act, the ENIP AS Act, or in this Order, but arc prescribed by law, or by conventions or international agreements to which the Philippine Government is a signatory, may be considered in the establishment of protected areas. Provided, that such criteria support biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. Sectio11 4.

  • Gender-Responsive Toolkit on Ecotourism Planning and Management
    Gender-responsive Toolkit on Ecotourism Planning And Management GREAT Women Project Management Office Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) December 2013 Quezon City, Philippines Message Tourism is one of the major sectors that drive our economy. In the tourism industry, it is mainly the women who are in the forefront of tourism – related activities. Undoubtedly, the heavy influx of tourists also brings about environmental degradation; hence the term ecotourism was coined to ensure that tourism activities will not have adverse effects on the natural environment. Although ecotourism is becoming widely – known, women’s roles and participation in various ecotourism activities are still understated and not considered in ecotourism planning and management. The Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) through the Gender Responsive Economic Actions for the Transformation of Women (GREAT) Project, partnered with the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in the development of this Tool Kit which aims to provide information to LGUs and protected area managers in preparing and developing their ecotourism management plans and ensuring that ecotourism strategies are gender responsive. The PCW commends the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau for developing this tool kit and I would like to thank the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD) of Canada for their untiring support to the GREAT Women Project. As we work together as partners in the dissemination and utilization of this Tool Kit, we look forward to seeing more women participating and benefiting from ecotourism activities REMEDIOS I.

    Proceedings of IUCN/WCPA-EA-4 Taipei Conference March 18-23, 2002, Taipei, Taiwan CURRENT STATUS AND PROSPECTS OF PROTECTED AREAS IN THE LIGHT OF THE PHILIPPINE BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION PRIORITIES Perry S. Ong, Ph. D. Fellow, Center for Applied Biodiversity Science, CI Science Director, Conservation International Philippines Associate Professor, Institute of Biology, UP Diliman I. INTRODUCTION The Philippines, the world’s second largest archipelago after Indonesia, covers a land area of about 300,000 km2 [1]. It is one of the 17 megadiversity countries, which between themselves contain 70 to 80 percent of global biodiversity [2]. Philippine rainforest is home to more than 1130 terrestrial wildlife species (Table 1) and between 10,000-13,000 species of plants [3] so far recorded, of which more than half are found nowhere else in the world. As such, the Philippines has also been described as Galapagos times ten [4]. It is also one of 25 global biodiversity hotspots [5, 6] with more than 97 percent of its original forest cover lost [7, 8]. In fact more original forests were lost in the last 50 years of the 20th century than what was lost in the previous 450 years combined [9]. Yet more new species are still being discovered on these islands than any other areas on earth in recent times [e.g., see 10, 11] Table 1.
