PAME Capacity Development 31 iv Report on the Management Effectiveness and Capacity of Protected Areas in the Philippines EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND KEY RECOMMENDATIONS 1 Protecting Key Biodiversity Areas through Better Management and Protected Area Enactment 1 The world’s growing population and economy are causing adverse impacts to the environment, that, when not decisively addressed, will have irreversible effects on the planet by 2050. Massive deforestation, land degradation, and destruction of coral reefs, among other environmental stressors, continue, also dramatically affecting people’s livelihoods. Climate change only worsens the impact. The United Nations (UN) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), though, recognize that economic progress and environmental conservation can go hand in hand. With this urgent need for immediate and large-scale action for the environment, countries around the world committed to the Aichi Biodiversity Targets in 2011 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals in 2015. Aichi Target #11 particularly aims to have at least 17% of terrestrial and inland water and 10% of coastal and marine areas in the world conserved through effectively managed protected areas. Establishing protected areas (PAs) is a key solution to achieve both environmental protection and sustainable economic growth. When properly managed, a PA’s flora and fauna are well- preserved. And, as these flora and fauna thrive, ecosystem goods and services for humans’ sustenance and livelihood ideally become more available in the future. In the Philippines, one of the world’s 17 mega-biodiverse countries and among the most vulnerable to biodiversity loss and climate change, the 2011-2016 Philippine Development Plan (PDP) specifically targeted: 1) strengthening management effectiveness of 2 million hectares (6.7%) of terrestrial and 1.1 million hectares (0.5%) of marine areas through existing national protected areas (PAs), and 2) establishing and effectively managing an additional 0.3 million hectares of critical habitats. The Philippines is also implementing the 2015-2028 Philippine Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (PBSAP), which is in line with the Aichi Targets’ vision for biodiversity by 2020. The Protected Area Management Enhancement (PAME) in the Philippines Project aimed to improve the management effectiveness in 60 existing protected areas (PAs) in the Philippines and establish 100 new protected areas in Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs). The project began in October 2012 and will end in December 2017. It is implemented by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources through its Biodiversity Management Bureau (DENR-BMB) in partnership with the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) through the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. With a funding of 9 million euros from the German government and 1 million euros from Philippine partners, PAME is a unique scaling-up initiative: the only conservation project worldwide targeting to strengthen such a large number of PA sites within a short amount of time. Specifically, PAME aimed to: 1) Improve management and technical capacities of DENR, protected area staff and key partners 2) Support the improvement of protected area management in at least 60 existing terrestrial and marine protected areas in defined key biodiversity areas (KBAs) through improved plans, legal frameworks, financial plans, and monitoring systems 3) Support the establishment of at least 100 new protected areas under innovative conservation management systems (for example, those led by local governments and communities) 4) Support an improved knowledge management and awareness-raising for PA management and value of biodiversity conservation 2 Report on the Management Effectiveness and Capacity of Protected Areas in the Philippines In selecting project sites, PAME considered those which did not receive support from international organizations or large corporations, and more particularly, 60 PAs which are in or near KBAs (PAME 60), and 100 KBAs from underrepresented ecosystems among current PAs, like caves, rivers, and lakes, among others (PAME 100). Other PAME 100 sites were directly selected as part of the Integrated Ecosystem Management (IEM)-based Comprehensive Land Use Planning (CLUP). Management effectiveness increase in 60 existing PAs and 55 new 1.1 protected areas established have contributed to the Philippine Development Plan 2011-2016’s goals PAME generally achieved its main goals: Average METT scores of 64 existing national protected areas increased from 34% in 2013 to 49% this 2017. This is a 46% increase, higher than the targeted 30% increase. Although only

  • Current Status and Prospects of Protected Areas in the Light of the Philippine Biodiversity Conservation Priorities
    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.

The compendium is a compilation of statistical information collected from data produced by various government agencies and from data available in different statistical publications. The compilation of statistical data in this compendium is based on the Philippine Framework of Environment Statistics (PFDES) which in turn is based on the United Nations Framework for the Development of Environment Statistics. It covers data for the period 1992 to 2000, whenever possible. Latest figures presented vary depending on the availability of data. The PFDES provides a systematic approach to the development of environment statistics and is an instrument for compiling and integrating data coming from various data collecting institutions to make them more useful in the formulation and evaluation of socio-economic and environmental programs and policies.
