The method used in assessing pressures to the natural forest was informed by the ToC model and based on a slightly modified process of pressures ranking contained in the Miradi software. The modification involved the use of barangays as the unit of analysis rather than the entire conservation area as described in Miradi. The pressure ratings per barangay are shown in the annexes. The identified pressures are also

  • A4 Policy Brief
    FOREST CHANGE DRIVERS AND IMPACTS POLICY BRIEF FOR BUKIDNON PROVINCE A key driver of deforestation and forest degradation in the Philippines is uncertainty regarding the exact drivers and sites of deforestation and forest degradation, which limits ability to develop targeted and effective conservation interventions. Forest figures are rarely available at the subnational level, more so at the landscape level. Forest cover estimates are available only up to the provincial level, while estimates for annual change rate in forest area is available only at the national level. To address this gap, ESSC embarked on an assessment of the drivers and impacts of forest cover change in Bukidnon, with particular focus on northern Pantaron Range, covering the municipalities of Impasugong and Cabanglasan, and the city of Malaybalay. The assessment uncovered both negative drivers and positive drivers, which co-exist in Bukidnon. KEY FINDINGS 1. Natural forests - critical to the sustainability of ecosystem services - are under pressure. a. Natural forests experienced a net decrease of almost 13,000 ha over 13 years, or almost 1,000 ha per year, largely due to degradation of mossy and primary forests. This translates to forest carbon losses of 2.88M Ct. b. Discounting the gains from natural regeneration in some areas, the province actually lost over 50,000 ha of mossy, primary and secondary forests over the period, or over 3,800 ha per year. c. Over 32,000 ha of mossy and primary forests became secondary or open forests. 2018 LAND COVER UPDATE OF BUKIDNON POLICY BRIEF 2. Major forest losses are in four blocks.

This report presents the population by province, city or municipality and barangay based on the 2010 CPH. This information will be useful for the formulation of the social and economic development policies, plans and programs of the Government. These are also important for purposes of the calculation of Internal Revenue Allocation, determination of number of congressional districts, and creation or conversion of various administrative geographic units. The 2010 CPH is the 13th census of population and the 6th census of housing that was conducted in the country since the first census undertaken in 1903. It was designed to take an inventory of the total population and housing units in the country and collect information about their characteristics as of the reference period May 1, 2010.

  • Policy Paper
    Ecosystems & Development Journal 7(1): 33-44 April 2017 ISSN 2012-3612 POLICY PAPER Analysis of the Multi-level Collaborative Management System in Mount Kitanglad Range Natural Park, Mindanao, Philippines John Parra ABSTRACT The overwhelming majority of government-designated protected areas in Asia have been thwarted with constraints to become effectively and equitably managed, and integrated into the broader landscapes. Significant constraints have included legal, governance, institutional, management capacities and financial aspects. In sharp contrast, the Philippines has over three decades of experience tackling the institutional mechanics of collaborative management. This paper analyzes the management arrangements of Mount Kitanglad Range Natural Park (MKRNP), one of the country’s best collaboratively managed protected areas. The analysis reveals a multi-level collaborative management system, involving two landscape collaborative management bodies, 13 protected area management working groups and the resurrection of local indigenous institutional bodies - the Council of Elders and the tribal guards. Some protected area working groups are effective whilst a few working groups have broad, and sometimes overlapping, mandates. Of high concern, both the landscape collaborative management bodies have low representation of these working groups and the indigenous communities themselves. Protected area staffing levels and resources are inadequate for providing technical support to effective multi-level collaborative management. Overall, MKRNP
