Study Notes
Community-Based Forest Management in the Philippines
- The Philippine government has established a framework for community-based forest management (CBFM) aimed at sustainable forest resource use, based on six key principles, including community-based forest conservation and development.
- Executive Order No. 318 (2004) promotes sustainable forest management in watersheds, prioritizing CBFM as the primary strategy for all forest conservation and development activities.
- DENR Administrative Order No. 2004-29 revised the 1996 CBFM Implementing Rules and Regulations, offering more flexibility for participating communities.
- This order allows for a Five-Year Work Plan instead of requiring an Annual Work Plan, enabling more adaptable and long-term community-based forest management strategies.
Key Principles of Community-Based Forest Management (CBFM)
- Social Equity: Ensures fair and equitable access to forest resources and benefits for local communities.
- Sustainability: Promotes the long-term conservation and use of forest resources while maintaining ecological balance.
- Community Participation: Emphasizes active and transparent involvement of local communities in all aspects of forest management.
Legal Provisions of the CBFM program
- DAO No. 2004-29, known as the "Revised Rules and Regulations for the Implementation of Executive Order 263," provides a comprehensive legal framework for implementing the CBFM strategy.
Scope of CBFM
- All Forest Lands, Except Those With Prior Rights: This means CBFM is applicable to all forest lands, excluding areas with pre-existing claims or concessions.
Participants
- Local Communities: Must be represented by a People's Organization (PO).
Qualifications for People's Organization (PO)
- Membership: All members must be Filipino citizens.
Formation of People's Organization (PO)
- Assistance: CENRO (Community Environment and Natural Resources Office), LGU (Local Government Unit), and NCIP (National Commission on Indigenous Peoples) provide assistance in establishing the PO.
- Registration: The PO must be registered with relevant agencies such as SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission), CDA (Cooperative Development Authority), DOLE (Department of Labor and Employment), DTI (Department of Trade and Industry), or other appropriate registering organizations.
Tenurial Instruments
-
Community-Based Forest Management Agreements (CBFMAs): Agreements between the DENR and the participating PO.
- Duration: 25 years, renewable for another 25 years.
- Objective: Provide tenurial security and incentives for the community to develop, utilize, and manage specific forest land portions, guided by approved forest management plans.
- Certificate of Stewardship Contract (CSC): Individual rights of occupancy recognized through a CSC coterminous with the CBFMA.
Procedures for Obtaining a CBFMA
- Working Group: CENRO leads a working group to guide the process, including soliciting comments from the LGU.
-
Requirements for Application: The PO must provide:
- Certificate of registration
- List of officers and members with addresses
- Resolution authorizing an officer to file the application
- NCIP certification (if applicable)
- Delineation Map: A preliminary map is submitted, and a precise map is prepared by the CENRO based on ground surveys.
-
Review and Approval:
- CENRO reviews applications within 10 working days.
- Applications below 500 hectares are approved by the CENRO.
- Applications between 500 and 5,000 hectares are endorsed to the PENRO (Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office).
- Applications between 5,000 and 20,000 hectares are approved by the RED (Regional Executive Director).
- Applications exceeding 20,000 hectares are approved by the Secretary of the DENR, through the FMB (Forest Management Bureau).
General Provisions on CS/CBFMA
- Binding Terms: The terms and conditions of the CS/CBFMA are legally binding.
- Just Compensation: If the CS or CBFMA is terminated without fault of the holders, they are entitled to just compensation for improvements made on the CBFMA area, based on the fair market value at the time of termination.
- Temporary Improvements: Holders have the right to harvest or remove temporary improvements as long as it's consistent with policies.
Transferability of CS/CBFMA
- CSC Transfer: In case of death or incapacitation of the holder, the CSC can be transferred to legal heirs.
- CBFMA Non-Transferable: CBFMAs are not transferable to other entities.
Agroforestry Systems in the Philippines
- Taungya: Combines agricultural crop production with woody perennial tree plantations, allowing agricultural activities during the early stages of plantation establishment.
- PICOP Agroforestry scheme: Offers a ready market for pulpwood from Falcata species.
- Silvopastural System: The integration of forestry and livestock grazing, often exemplified in Nasipit Lumber Co. (NALCO) in Mindanao, where Albizzia moluccana trees are used for shade and cattle graze underneath.
- SALT (Sloping Agricultural Land Technology): A system of alley cropping and hedgerow intercropping advocated by the DENR Social Forestry Program, utilizing nitrogen-fixing legumes for hedgerows.
- Multistory System: characterized by stratified canopy layers, with the coconut-based multistory system dominating in the Philippines.
Guidelines for Sustainable Agroforestry Systems
- Productive and Protective: Farming practices should promote soil moisture conservation and nutrient cycling while maximizing economic benefits.
- Species Choice: Careful selection of species based on their suitability and compatibility.
- Crop Compatibility: Ensuring that the chosen crops complement each other and do not negatively impact each other's growth.
- Input Requirements: Assessing the required inputs for the system, considering sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
- System Sustainability: Evaluating the long-term viability of the chosen agroforestry system for ecological balance, economic viability, and social acceptability.
