PROJECT CODE : 85-00100 PROJECT TYPE : Plantation Establishment PROJECT SITE : Abra Province

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

In line with the National Program for Forest Ecosystem Management (PROFEM), the Philippine Government requested from the World Bank technical and financial assistance for a reforestation project proposal.

In January 1978, the World Bank approved the proposal and identified two (2) main project components: (1) Smallholder Tree-farming involving a supervised credit scheme under the Development of the Philippines (DBP); and (2) Pine Plantation Development under BFD Management.

The Pine Plantation Development Component endeavors to bolster the government's reforestation of long-fibered pine species to cope the projected increases in the domestic demand for pulp and paper products.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES:

General Objectives:

To establish a 3000-hectare Pilot Pine Plantation and pave the way for wide-scale industrial reforestation.

Specific Objectives:

1. To strengthen the Bureau of Forest Development project planning and implementation capabilities;

2. To initiate industrial-scale reforestation using long-fiber species; 3. To develop economically attractive mode of resettling occupants of government forest

lands and of providing them with employment opportunities.

PROJECT ACTIVITIES: 1. Provision of nursery facilities, including watershed, irrigation system and propagating

sheds for imported seeds; 2. Development of about 3,000 has. critical Pinus Caribaea plantations as the first stage

of planting program and the conduct of surveys covering some 10,000 has. earmarked for plantation establishment; and

3. Construction and maintenance of forest roads, fire breaks, watch towers, headquarters complex and other support facilities.

PROJECT CODE : 95-00100 PROJECT TYPE : Biodiversity Conservation PROJECT SITE : Bicol National Park (Camarines Sur and Camarines

Norte) and Mt. Iglit-Baco National Park in (Oriental and Occidental Mindoro)

PROJECT OBJECTIVES: To assist the government of the Philippines in protecting the biodiversity heritage of the country through the establishment of a national system of integrated protected areas, as promulgated by the NIPAS Act of 1992. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The T.A. will assist the DENR and the PAMBs in testing and modifying, if necessary, the guidelines for buffer zone establishment and related land tenure instruments so that they are sensitive to the actual conditions prevailing in the national parks and to the interests of the affected resident population. The TA. will also support an IEC and training program for core DENR field staff and PAMBs in NIPAS administration and protected area and buffer zone management. It will help develop training curricula and materials on relevant topics. Short in-country site visits and a study tour to establish protected areas in the Asian region will be included. Subsequently, the T.A. will support a pilot activity to extend NIPAS Act implementation to a third protected area site, to be selected during the T.A. inception, where the trainees will practice what they have learned. It is envisaged that thereafter, the trained DENR staff will be able to provide technical guidance to PAMBs at other sites to initiate the protected area and buffer zone management planning process on their own. PROJECT ACTIVITIES/COMPONENTS:

1. Regional coordination in the conduct of TA implementation 2. Conduct of training/workshop for PAWB and PAW sector staff, PAMB

Conduct of extension workshop. 3. Actual TA implementation

Pilot testing of buffer zone Preparation of buffer zone management plan Preparation of a proposal for the third pilot site 4. Monitoring and evaluation 5. Production and dissemination of IEC materials.

Assistance in Reducing Mercury Emissions in Highly Contaminated Gold

Areas in Mindanao - Phase I

PROJECT TYPE : Capacity Building PROJECT SITE : Naboc River, Davao del Norte and Hijo River, Apoko in

Mindanao

PROJECT OBJECTIVES: The Project is focusing on the Government’s development target to phase out the use of mercury in artisanal and small-scale mining operations by providing improved health, working and living conditions as well as increased income for the gold mining population. The project will help the Government bridge the technological gap from which the sub-sector is suffering and introduce environmental management and cleaner production methods unknown to the rural population. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Amalgamation is the preferred method adopted by artisanal miners to process gold ore since mercury is still a cheap and effective reagent for extracting gold. However, the impact of amalgamation on the environment is pollution caused by either mercury substances evaporating into the air and mercury discharged with the residues (tailings) from mining operations. Symptoms of poisoning from mercury vapour or through the aquatic environment are already evident. Education is a pre-requisite for a long term solution of the mercury emission problem. Technical solutions, however, must be rapidly provided to avoid a future epidemic situation. PROJECT ACTIVITIES/COMPONENTS: 1. Advise the MGB on possible legal and administrative framework to address the

various environmental challenges of small-scale gold mining; and 2. Provide advisory assistance to MGB in the formulation of new Small-Scale Mining

Law, taking into consideration the various political, social and environmental dimensions of small-scale mining activities.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR) is one of the approaches being adopted by the DENR since 1989 to reforest as quickly as possible more than 7 million hectares of forest land in the Philippines. The adoption of ANR was based on the recommendation that the ecological processes during secondary succession can be assisted or accelerated to shorten the time required for plant communities to naturally reach a climax forest state. Although DENR has adopted a system of monitoring the implementation of reforestation projects nationwide the existing system can only reflect in effect the administrative implementation of ANR and does not reflect accurately the actual effectivenes of ANR in restoring forest cover. Significant improvement can be made on the present monitoring system with the closer assessment of ANR's application in the on-going national reforestation program.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Central Visayas Regional Project I (CVRP-I) is a pilot project in regional rural development founded on the principles of devolution and community-based resource management. It is the first project to be funded by the IBRD or World Bank. Implementation began in July 1984 with the deployment of 35 core staff to conduct social preparation activities and introduce resource management technologies in 18 pilot barangays. CVRP-I is composed of a water management component with four technical sub-component (upland agriculture, social forestry, nearshore fisheries and infrastructure and a support component with institutional strengthening, research, training and technical assistance and applied communications as sub-component. The Social Forestry Project site is located in the forest areas of Ayungon and Bindoy, Negros Oriental with an approximate area of 17,000 has. and is within the former logging concession area of the Philippine-American Timber Co., Inc. (permit cancelled when Negros Oriental Province was declared log-deficient in 1979). With the project life, the Social Forestry component would develop and manage the area thru forest improvement on logged-over areas, reforestation of open cogonal areas and improved upland farming practices in cultivated areas. The activities would be undertaken by the forest dwellers who would be given secure access to the forest resources. PROJECT ACTIVITIES/COMPONENTS: 1. Organize communities for widespread grassroots participation to ensure maximum

impact and sustainability. 2. Provide security of tenure over primary resources on government lands including

the issuance of stewardship contracts, community timber utilization permits, smallholder timber concessions, community reforestation contracts, artificial reef licenses, municipal sanctuaries and similar instruments of resource access;

Development of Dessication and Moisture Standards for Selected Mangrove

Species

PROJECT CODE : 93-07700 PROJECT SITE : Pagbilao, Quezon PROJECT OBJECTIVES : To determine reproductive phenology and seed testing standards for selected orthodox and recalcitrant mangrove seeds. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: One of the least studied types of forest communities are the mangroves. The meager information runs from production (seed technology_) to growth and yield down to utilization. They occupy a great deal of spaces in the coastal areas of the tropic and sub-tropical countries of the world. This group of plant community is the most accessible forest types to both the coastal and upland dwellers hence enormous utilization pressures have been exerted on them. In addition to its precarious condition, its production capacity especially in generating reproductive phenology and seed technology standards are wanting. Phenological studies on commercially valuable mangrove tree species are the basic ingredients in understanding their flowering, fruiting and propagule production periodicity and seasonality. Such information is vital for forest managers, foresters and researchers in the development of planting schedules and research programs. PROJECT ACTIVITIES/COMPONENTS : 1. Area Selection and Flower Tagging 2. Seed Sourcing and Collection 3. Statistical Design and Analysis 4. Treatments and Parameters 5. Data Collection

Environmental and Natural Resources Accounting Project (Phase IV)

PROJECT TYPE : Institutional Building PROJECT OBJECTIVES: To contribute to policy reforms for enhancing environmental and natural resource management, build capacity at the department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in the conduct of environmental economic analysis, and assist in the institutionalization of the Philippine Economic-Environmental and Natural Resources Accounting (PEENRA) System. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Government of the Philippines through the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has been involved in environmental and natural resources accounting efforts since early 1991, through Phase I and II of the Environment and Natural Resources Accounting Project (ENRAP). The first phase conducted in 1991, focused on modifying the Philippine gross national product through estimates of th e depreciation of forest products. As phase I was being implemented, it came apparent that the scopre of the effort needed to be broadened. This meant developing a comprehensive accounting framework for examining the role of both natural and environmental resources in the economy, and the impact activity on these resources. This was the basic objective of the second phase of ENRAP which was completed in March 1994. More specifically, ENRAP II has built a system of environmental accounts to support economic, natural resource and environmental policy formulation. To assess both economic growth and environmental policy formulation. To assess both economic growth and environmental protection targets, analytical work under ENRAP II designed an economic framework for addressing economy-wide trade-offs and national concerns. The experience from ENRAP I and II strongly indicated that subsequent ENRA activities should sustain and strengthen the institutionalization of the accounting process and enhance its support to policy formulation. During Phase III, several detailed studies were conducted to further refine the accounting framework. Phase II also shed light on policy issues such as declining fish stocks, trade and environment, and on the use of market based instruments for environmental management. Phase IV will implement institutionalization of the PEENRA System as mandated by Exec. Order No. 406 of March 21, 1997. After this phase the GOP instituions (i.e. DENR, NEDA and NSCB) are expected to be in a condition to use ENRA independently and with minimum of outside assistance.

EX-SITU Genebank for Philippine Teak (Tectona philipinensis)

PROJECT CODE : 91-25900 PROJECT SITE : Lobo, Batangas and Mts. Palay-palay Mataas na

Gulod NP PROJECT OBJECTIVES : Develop procedures/techniques for Ex-situ conservation of Philippine Teak. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Philippine Teak (Tectona philippinensis) is a threatened Philippine plant. The species is found only in the municipality of Lobo, Batangas. This species belongs to the famili Verbenaceae where Molave and Teak (Tectona grandis) belong. Philippine Teak is a medium-size tree reaching a height of 15-25 meters. Leaves elliptic ovate-lanceolate, acuminate 8 to 15 cm. long, 3 to 6 cm. wide with rough surface, light greenish above, pale beneath. The fruit is a drupe about 13 cm. long and hairy. The trunk is grayish with thin flaking bark similar to the guava. The Philippine Teak is commonly called Malabayabas in Lobo. It is an endemic, rare and highly threatened tree species. Presently, the population of this species remain in small patches of Molave forest amid the upland farms of Lobo. The threat for Philippine Teak's survival continues due to conversion of habitat into farmlands. Within 5 years or earlier Philippine Teak will surely become extinct because of the pressures brought about by the demand of the local communities to convert adjacent forests in the limited habitat range of the species. The propagation experiment was undertaken to conserve Philippine Teak as a representative sample of the Philippine biodiversity.

Feasibility of the Limited Production Forest Concept In Critical Watersheds

and Forest Reserve Areas

PROJECT CODE : 94-03300 PROJECT SITE : Sta. Fe, Nueva Vizcaya; Binahaan, Pagbilao, Quezon;

Intavas, La Fortuna, Impasug-ong, Bukidnon; Tibolo, Sta Cruz, Davao del Sur

PROJECT OBJECTIVES : The project will determine the feasibility of the Limited Production Forest Concept (LPFC) as to its technical, social, and financial soundness. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Management of critical watershed areas and other forest reserves needs an in-depth assessment. There are two (2) reasons for this: First, most of these areas are inhabited and their occupants depend heavily on the available forest resources for their livelihood. Most of the time, these occupants resort to illegal activities and indiscriminate extraction due to the relative high demand for these forest resources. Second, the opportunity cost of benefits foregone by not allowing any production activities in these areas need to be locked into for a better management of the scarce resource. Due consideration, of course, must be given on the protection, conservation and sustainability of biological species and other resources found in the area. Presently, some 772,100 hectares have been officially declared as critical watershed areas. These are the areas supporting existing infrastructures such as hydro-electric power, irrigation works and domestic water facilities needing immediate protection or rehabilitation. This study seeks to answer the following; 1) is LPFC technically feasible to ensure a sustainable utilization of minor forest products without impairing the productive capacity of the resource? (2) Is it socially compatible with the cultural and social characteristics of the community? Finally, is it financially viable to encourage investment on a sustained protection and maintenance of the forests? Answers to these questions will provide vital information for policy formulation or reformulation necessary for the DENR to arrive at a better management of the country's critical watersheds and forest reserve areas.

Feasibility Study on the Industrial Air Emission Source Project

PROJECT CODE : 95-00300 PROJECT SITE : Metro-Manila PROJECT OBJECTIVES: The IAES project provides DENR with needed training and assists in identifying major sources of industrial air pollution in Manila. Also, major air pollution sources will be ranked with weighting given to abatement cost compared to improvement of air quality. Because this project is to be integrated into the World Bank's Industrial Environmental Pollution Control (IEPC) project for Manila, financing is available to industries requiring air pollution abatement equipment and related consulting services. Due to the complex nature of the air pollution problem in Manila, several seminars are to be arranged to disseminate information on DENR proposed standards, source rankings and cost effective abatement alternatives. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The goal of this project is to assist the Philippines in quantifying the air emissions burden from industrial activities, ranking specific industrial categories according to their potential air quality impacts, identifying specific mitigation techniques to improve air quality, and recommending techniques in monitoring, testing, reporting, and record keeping that are needed to ensure compliance with existing air quality regulations.

Forestry Sector Project (ADB)

PROJECT TYPE : Reforestation and Watershed Rehabilitation & Forest

Resources Development PROJECT SITE : Nationwide

PROJECT OBJECTIVES: The project aims to 1) reverse the process of upland and mangrove resource degradation and ensure long term sustainability of activities begun under the sectoral investment component, and 2) to improve the material well-being of rural communities. The Second Forestry Sector Project further intended to support the following priority concerns: 1. Sustainable management of forest resources. This is expected to be achieved by

the adoption of successful community-based approach where the rural poor, with the help of the local NGOs; will be directly involved in planning and implementing sustainable forestland management and protection alternatives.

2. Poverty alleviation and the promotion of social justice and equity. These would be

achieved by policies aimed at providing security of tenure and use rights to community members over the forest lands they manage, and the implementation of alternative income generating activities to improve family income in the short, medium and long term.

3. Prevention of further degradation of the forest resources and protection of

biodiversity. These are expected to be accomplished through policies on protection of virgin forests, control of illegal logging, management of critical watersheds, and community-based management of residual forest.

4. Ensuring financial sustainability of forest management. This would entail the

adoption of policies that would prescribe the conditions and incentives for recycling of profits into productive activities and the establishment of a forest management and development fund.

5. Refinement of existing policies under the Forestry Sector. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Second Forestry Sector Project emanates from the initial successes gained under the First Forestry Sector Program (FFSP) which enabled the Philippine Government to address the root causes of forest destruction and environmental degradation. This project would like to continue the momentum brought by the success of FFSP to accomplish more in alleviating poverty in the uplands and instituting the application of sustainable forest land development and management practices by upland farmers.

Improved Productivity of Man-made Forest thru Application of

Technological Advances in Tree Breeding and Propagation (Forest Tree

Improvement Project - FORTIP)

PROJECT CODE : 93-01300 PROJECT TYPE : Technology Transfer and Training PROJECT SITE : Three regions PROJECT OBJECTIVES : To help stem deforestation and resulting environmental degradation leading to economic loss and hardships for local populations through the establishment of more productive and well-adapted plantations of a range of species meeting the socio-economic needs of the countries in question and maximize the benefits possible through exchange of information know-how and germplasm between the countries in the region, thus avoiding overlaps of effort and dilution of limited national resources. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The UNDP/FAO project is a regional network covering ten (10) countries hosted by the Philippines. The ten countries are: Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Nepal, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Thailand. The participating countries in the region are very much aware of the problems of deforestation and of the opportunities now available to rectify the worsening situation. Almost all of them have devoted considerable resources to reforestation but the rate and quality of planting is still too low to meet future demands. Consequently, government policies have been instituted to markedly increase the areas of plantation and rural tree planting and to maximize gains through better growth and higher yields. Until now the emphasis with the available resources has been on achievement of quantitative targets (area planted) with little regard to quality. The return on investment is far from optimal because of poor genetic and physiological quality of seed used. The value of genetically improved planting materials assumes special importance in the face of increasing requirements for wood and the growing concern with problems of the environment which will, inevitably restrict production-oriented plantation forestry to smaller areas in the future, from which an increasing demand for forest products will have to be met. Forest plantations, which provide more timber from smaller areas of land, therefore, will have to be established increasingly. In this respect, the choice of genetic material is critical. PROJECT ACTIVITIES/COMPONENTS:

1. Establishment of a national network in each of the participating country.

2. Coordination of activities of the forestry authorities and the forestry research organizations

3. Extension activities between forestry authorities, forestry research organizations and end-users, private sector and NGO

4. Establish arrangements for the transfer of appropriate technological

advances made in specialized areas of tree breeding and propagation from institutions of excellence to selected institutions in the region.

5. Promote the exchange of information and the communication of relevant

data related to tree breeding and propagation to national forest services and seed centres of the participating countries through correspondence and the publication of information materials.

6. Establishment of demonstration centres in the participating countries to

illustrate the recent advancement made in the fields of tree breeding and propagation

7. Provide training through national and regional workshops; training courses

on selected topics on tree improvement, and propagation; study tours; fellowships; and attachment of selected scientists at centres of excellence both within and outside the region.

8. Provide support to national forestry organizations to upgrade their research

and development efforts to increase the production of quality seed and planting materials.

Natural Resources Accounting Project (Phase III)

PROJECT CODE : 93-08100 PROJECT SITE : Nationwide with pilot projects PROJECT OBJECTIVES: To develop an analytical basis for measuring the impact of unsound environmental and natural resources management practices by the industrial and agribusiness sectors, among others, on Philippine economic development as measured by the national income accounts. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Government of the Philippines through the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has been involved in environmental and natural resources accounting efforts since early 1991, through Phase I and II of the Environmental and Natural Resources Accounting Project (ENRAP). The first phase conducted in 1991, focused on modifying the Philippine gross national product through estimates of the depreciation of forest products. As Phase I was being implemented , it came apparent that the scope of the effort needed to be broadened. This meant developing a comprehensive accounting framework for examining the role of both natural and environmental resources in the economy, and the impact of economic activity on these resources. This was the basic objective of the second phase of ENRAP which was completed in March 1994. More specifically, ENRAP II has built a system of environmental accounts to support economic, natural resource and environmental policy formulation. To assess both economic growth and environmental policy formulation. To assess both economic growth and environmental protection targets, analytical work under ENRAP II designed an economic framework for addressing economy-wide trade-offs and national concerns. The experience from ENRAP I and II strongly indicated that susbsequent ENRA activities should sustain and strengthen the institutionalization of the accounting process and enhance its support to policy formulation. Phase III will conduct the data refinement and pursue further iterations on the accounts established in the previous phases. PROJECT ACTIVITIES/COMPONENTS : 1. Refinement of 1988 accounts and preparation of 1992 accounts 2. Training/orientation 3. Policy simulation exercises 4. Regional ENRA accounting 5. Preparation of technical papers 6. Dissemination and networking 7. Institutionalization 8. Preparation of final report

Ozone Depletion Substances Phase-out Country Program Preparation

PROJECT CODE : 91-23300 PROJECT SITE : Nationwide PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The preparation of the country program (CP) is part of the requirements set by the Executive Committee to qualify for assistance from the Multilateral Fund. It contains an analysis of ODS consumption and structure of end users. The CP presents the country's preferred phase-out strategy which takes into account the socioeconomic conditions within the country and at the same time the Philippines commitments to the Montreal Protocol. The Action Plan, which translates the Program into specific activities and timetables, hopes to make the CP implementable. The Philippine Government however does not consider the preparation of the CP as a mere compliance to get assistance from the Multilateral Fund. The process itself is seen as an opportunity for the Government to be more familiar with an environmental problem, establish realistic goals to solve the problem by optimizing limited resources within the country and assistance from multilateral and bilateral agencies, and learn from the entire exercise in order to apply some general principles in attacking another environmental concern. For this purpose, the Government of the Philippines had taken the responsibility of formulating the Country Program for the ODS phase-out.

Palawan Integrated Area Development Project - Upland Stabilization

Component

PROJECT CODE : 89-14901 PROJECT TYPE : Plantation Development PROJECT SITE : Aborlan, Quezon and Brooke's Point, Palawan

PROJECT OBJECTIVES :

The primary objective of the program is to control shifting cultivation by providing assistance for the following:

1. social and physical infrastructure such as water supply, access trails and housing materials;

2. farm development involving animals and tree crops; 3. reforestation using local participation; 4. issuance of land rights; and 5. development of community organizations and clientele training in resource

conservation and proper land use PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The intensity of slash-and-burn (Kaingin or Swidden farming) type of farming in the hilly lands and mountain slope of Palawan compounded by logging and mining activities contributes to accelerated degradation of province fragile ecosystem. Already, physical manifestations of adverse effects of indiscriminate resource utilization and exploitation are becoming evident: e.g. decline in land productivity as a result of soil fertility loss and irrigation water contamination. This is worsened by the continuous influx of settlers who continually push the tribal groups into the hinterlands. To mitigate the adverse effects of this existing farming system, the project, through the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in association with other agencies, developed a program-oriented Upland Stabilization Component.

Philippines-Australia Human Resources Development (HRD) Project

PROJECT TYPE : Institutional Strengthening PROJECT SITE : Department of Environment and Natural Resources

(DENR), HRD Service Central Office and HRD staff at Regional Offices (Nationwide)

PROJECT HISTORY:

In March 1989, the Philippines Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) requested Australian assistance to bring about a series of institutional reforms, thought necessary following an internal reorganization in 1987.

This initial request was primarily to support human resource development (HRD) initiatives within the forestry sector. In June 1989, The Australian Agency for International Development (AusAid) representatives recommended that the original project concept be broadened to develop the capacity and capability of the HRD service within DENR. A feasibility study/design team was mobilized in 1990 and the Project Design Document (PDD) revised in October 1991. Later that year, the Government of the Philippines (GOP) produced a revised PDD to incorporate many changes which were taking place in the Philippines and to more fully demonstrate the benefits of HRD to DENR.

In September 1993, AusAID selected ACIL Australia Pty Ltd. (ACIL) as their Managing Contractor to implement the project over a four and a half year period. The first six months of the project was allowed for the production of the Project Implementation Document (PID).

A contract between AusAID and ACIL was signed on 23 March 1994 and mobilization to the Philippines commenced on April 2, 1994. PROJECT GOAL: Original Goal:

To strengthen the capacity of the DENR to implement development programs in natural resources by upgrading DENR staff at all levels, and to establish and institutionalize training and development system at the central and Regional offices. New Project Goal:

To strengthen the capacity of the DENR to achieve its mandate by improving its human resource development.

Preparation of Industrial Common Treatment Facilities and Waste

Abatement for Individual Enterprises

PROJECT CODE : 94-03800 PROJECT SITE : Metro-Manila PROJECT OBJECTIVES : 1. To establish a pipeline of potential investment projects by individual enterprises to

be financed under the proposed World Bank project through local commercial banks;

2. Identify 5 to 10 cost-effective Common Treatment Facilities (CTF) schemes which

will achieve lower unit costs of waste-water treatment than if undertaken on an individual bases, and subsequently develop 2 to 4 of these schemes to the stage of preliminary engineering and appraisal;

3. To prepare pollution action plans for the individual enterprises and 2 to 4 CTFs,

suitable for permit approval by the DENR. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Government of the Philippines (GOP) is concerned that the increasing levels of air and water pollution and environmental degradation in the nation's cities is affecting the health and productivity of the work force, the efficiency of industry, the availabiIity of clean water, and also resulting in a decline in attractiveness of the Philippines as locus for investment. As part of the effort to rectify this situation, the DENR and the DTI, with the assistance of the World Bank, are spearheading an effort to improve the environmental conditions in the Metro-Manila Region (MMR) . Over the past two years and Environmental Sector Study of the Philippines has been prepared for the MMR and preparation work undertaken for an Industrial Efficiency and Pollution Control Project (IEPC). An Environmental Sector Study of the Philippines analyzed policy studies related to Industrial Pollution and a World Bank mission in September 1993 undertook further study work on components for the proposed IEPC project. Detailed work has been undertaken on industries polluting the Pasig River. Other work on industrial pollution outside Metro-Manila is underway with assistance from USAID and GTZ. The DENR and DTI now wish to undertake further preparation work for the IEPC project to prepare for Government endorsement and appraisal by the World Bank.

Program Loan for the Forestry Sector

PROJECT CODE : 89-12701 PROJECT TYPE : Plantation Development PROJECT SITE : Nationwide PROJECT OBJECTIVES: The overall goal of the program loan for the forestry sector is to arrest the ecological imbalances brought about by the rapid denudation of the country's forests. This is through the rehabilitation of the watersheds. Another is the sustainable development of the forest land for the continuous supply of forest goods and services. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Forestation This component which will establish protection and production forest is accorded the highest priority in the program. To carry on with forestation activities, the DENR taps the private sector, non-government organizations, local government units and other government agencies through contract reforestation. About 85% of DENR's reforestation activities are being contracted out while the rest are being done by the Department. Contract Reforestation as the strategy used in forestation covers four major activities namely: infrastructure establishment, nursery establishment and seedling production, plantation establishment, maintenance and protection. The first, concerning the construction of access roads, bridges, trails, fire towers and other related infrastructures. The second, concerns the production of seedlings and planting materials. The third, site preparation and planting, and the fourth, the care and production of the plantations. There are three types of reforestation contracts. Family, Community and Corporate Contracts. Activity - specific contracts are allowed for any of the activities mentioned above.

Integrated Social Forestry This component addresses the upliftment of socio-economic conditions in the uplands by mobilizing forest-based people resources. Security of tenure is provided through stewardship contracts to families within areas covered by forestation projects. Moreover, employment opportunities are generated by this component particularly in areas where the promise of wage income from forestation projects do not hold or where the land and relevant bio-physical conditions at the kaingin are not adequate to support reasonable living needs. Watershed Rehabilitation The watershed rehabilitation component focuses on the improvement of critical watersheds. Rehabilitation work calls for construction of structural measures and provision of forest cover. These are the following: Ambuklao-Binga Watershed (CAR) Balog-balog Watershed (Region III) Bued River WAtershed (CAR) Sta. Cruz Watershed (Region III) Talavera River Watershed (Region III) Lake Balisansayao Watershed (Reg.

PROJECT TYPE : Training PROJECT SITE : EMB and the regional offices of the DENR PROJECT OBJECTIVES :

To strengthen capacity of the DENR to efficiently and consistently administer the environmental impact assessment legislation of the Philippines. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

AIDAB's Strengthening Environmental Assessment Project (SEAP) was completed in October 1993. The goal of SEAP was to strengthen the capacity of the Environment Management bureau (EMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to efficiently administer Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) through the introduction of improved administrative and management procedures". This was largely achieved by staff training, the establishment of a computer data base retrieval and checklisting of procedures which provides accurate information on the EIA review process and the computerization of the MEB's screening guidelines.

On completion of SEAP in October 1993, the Government of the Philippines

(GOP) implementing agency, the EMB, requested AIDAB to consider extending SEAP to the regional offices of the DENR. It was suggested that this extension should be known as the Strengthening Environmental Assessment at Regional Offices Project (ROEP). It was proposed that ROEP should aim to improve the capacity of the regional offices to process EIAs to uniform national standards. This would be in keeping with the devolution of administrative functions in accordance with the Local Government Code. PROJECT ACTIVITIES/COMPONENTS : The components correspond to the major tasks of the project:

1. Establishing nationwide EIA procedures 2. Planning and preparing equipment, administration systems and training

courses 3. Implementing the training and installing the equipment and systems 4. Corporate planning to promote sustainability of systems 5. Managing the project

RP-NZ Bukidnon Industrial Plantation Project (Phases I & II)

PROJECT TYPE : Plantation Development PROJECT SITE : Malaybalay, Malitbog, Impasug-ong, Manolo Fortich,

Bukidnon PROJECT OBJECTIVES: To operate as a commercially viable enterprise in the business of plantation forestry through the establishment of 25,000 hectares of sustainable forest plantation in Bukidnon that will provide an alternative wood resource to the rapidly depleting indigenous timber supply thereby helping remove exploitation pressures from the remaining natural forests. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: One of the most serious problems facing the country is the rapid depletion of forest rescues and the consequent deterioration of the environment. Previous efforts have not been sufficient to reforest and rehabilitate denuded areas and as a result, extensive areas of forestlands have turned into barren and unproductive grasslands. The project is jointly implemented with New Zealand to help address the issues on reforestation and development of alternative wood resource. It is a pioneering effort of the Government on establishment of industrial plantations while rehabilitating severely denuded lands. PROJECT ACTIVITIES/COMPONENTS: a. Establishment and management and use of approximately 25,000 has. of commercial

forests. b. Management and utilization and development of Malaybalay Refo Project. c. Encouragement of local participation. d. Provision of extension services to establish Tree Farmer Woodlot. e. Development of commercial forests on other land areas in Bukidnon. f. Upon successful privatization of the corporation, a Trust Fund will be established

which will be used to replicate the projects. g. Implementation of training programme.

PROJECT CODE : 92-01100 PROJECT TYPE : Environmental Protection PROJECT SITE : Metro-Manila PROJECT OBJECTIVES : The Technical Assistance (TA) is to assist the Government in preparing an appropriate investment program to implement a vehicular emission control program in Metro-Manila. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The TA will evaluate the financial, economic and institutional feasibility of the following suggested measures to reduce vehicular emissions. a). Inspection and maintenance sub-project which will essentially replace the

anti-smoke belching campaign with a much more effective program to reduce emissions from the current stocks of vehicles.

b) clean two-stroke motorcycles sub-project which will eliminate the two-stroke motorcycles over a period of two years.

c) Low lead/low sulfur sub-project Manila has one of the dirtiest fuels in the

Asia-Pacific region if not the world. This sub-project will phase-in low lead and low sulfur gasoline over a period about two years.

d) Gasoline fueled jeepney sub-project - The on-going study has shown that the risk

for lung cancer due to exposure to diesel engine exhaust is serious and is high in Metro-Manila, and that, without doubt, the diesel particulates pose acute, serious health/respiratory hazards. This sub-project will result in a gradual shift of jeepneys to use gasoline engines and will involve a change in the price subsidy given to diesel fuel and incentives for the conversion of diesel jeepneys to gasoline.

e) Non-catalyst standard sub-project - This project will be implemented over a

five-year period and will improve engine design and maintenance measures to reduce carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide emissions.

Province of Benguet - Municipalities of Atok, Bakun, Buguias, Kapangan, Kibungan, Sabian, Tuba and Tublay.

Mt. Province - Municipalities of Bauko, Bontoc, Sabangan, Sagada and Tadian.

DESCRIPTION:

The activities proposed to enhance natural resource management focus on community-based forest

management and reforestation, forest protection and land use planning, tenurial security and monitoring. First, the project

would provide for environmental awareness and land tenure security training for staff involved in community mobilization

and participatory planning. Second, the capacity of DENR/DAR to issue appropriate tenurial security instruments will be

supported. DENR will award Certificates of Ancestral Domain Claim (CADCs) for about 150,000 ha., and Certificates of

Ancestral Land Claim (CALCs) for about 480 has. DAR will issue Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CLOAs) for

about 26,450 ha. Third, DENR-CAR will receive funding under its budget ceiling to contract with communities to reforest

and manage about 6,150 ha. to be sited on forest and proclaimed watershed reservations and community forest land,

using an approach similar to that of the ADB-financed Forestry Sector Loan Project, involving the use of NGOs to facilitate

community-based implementation of reforestation. The reforestation, in appropriate areas, would also involve agro-

forestry activities, in keeping with the focus of the Project on the Key Commercial Crops Development Program. The

reforestation activity would contribute to soil conservation and watershed protection, thus indirectly supporting the

sustainability of the Key Commercial Crop Development Program. Fourth, a Project Geographical Information System

(GIS) will be established to assist in planning and monitoring of activities under Project implementation, including the

DENR and DAR activities and to provide a long term planning tool on a regional basis.

OBJECTIVE/S :

Reduce poverty in the CAR by increasing the disposable incomes of smallholder farm families in the project area. An

integral part of achieving this objective is the promotion of sustainable resource management practices, the protection of

the environment and the mitigation of any adverse development impacts, the strengthening of existing institutions, and the

involvement of beneficiaries in project planning and implementation activities

TARGET BENEFICIARIES : 16 upland communities of the provinces of Abra, Benguet and Mt. Province

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The Visayan Sea is located centrally in the Philippines surrounded by its inland provinces of Cebu, Masbate, Iloilo and

Negros Occidental. It has been defined as one of the biggest and most productive fishing grounds in the country. The

diversity of its resources has drawn various activities resulting in the decline in marine and coastal resources due to

unabated exploitation.

This scenario calls for the immediate attention of various concerned

sectors in saving the rich resources of the fishing grounds. On September 2001, a Memorandum of Agreement was

executed to bring together different stakeholders to work for effective management of the renewable resources of the

Visayan Sea.

The role and responsibility of the DENR, as specified in the Memorandum of Agreement, is to provide technical

assistance to revert idle, abandoned and unutilized fishponds into mangrove forests, training assistance on mangrove

management, and to provide expertise on addressing environmental issues, siltation, marine and coastal pollution and

deforestation.

The Visayan Sea Coastal Resources and Fisheries Management Project is a joint initiative of the Government of the

Federal Republic of Germany and the Government of the Philippines with the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of

Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DA-BFAR) as the lead agency, and the Department of Environment and Natural

Resources as one of the participating/coordinating agencies. The Project is an 8-year (2002-2010) technical

assistance project. The 1st three years of project implementation commenced on August 2002. The project covers

twenty two (22) municipalities in the four (4) provinces of regions 5, 6 and 7.

GENERAL OBJECTIVE (VisSea Project):

To bring together different stakeholders to work for effective management of the renewable resources of the Visayan

Sea.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE (DENR Component):

To contribute to the sustainable management of the coastal resources, the restoration of destroyed habitats and the

regeneration of depleted living resources of the Visayan Sea.

Support to the Implementation of Executive Order No. 247 in the Philippines

SECTOR: Protected Areas, Wildlife and Coastal Zone Management

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The Philippines was one of the first countries to implement a regulation to access of Biological and Genetic Resources. Access is regulated starting 1996 upon the inception of Executive Order 247 (EO 247) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (DAO 96-20) establishing the provisions and legal procedures in the utilization of natural resources for academic and commercial purpose. the Order calls for the development of specific guidelines on benefits, payment of bioprospecting fees, bond and royalties. Thus, the project "Support to the Implementation of Executive Order 247" was conceptualized in year 2000 to develop these guidelines among other secondary outputs.

Regulations for bioprospecting activities was reiterated by the Wildlife Act of 2001. The IRR of the Act, in

particular calls for the formulation of a new bioprospecting guidelines which shall prescribe the procedures and requirements for evaluating and processing bioprospecting in accordance with the Act.

The project was thus given a new direction and its objectives were aligned with the needs arising from the

law.

OBJECTIVES:

1. Develop guidelines for bioprospecting activities in the Philippines in the form of a joint DENR-DA-PCSD

Administrative Order. The guidelines shall prescribe the procedures and requirements for evaluating and approval of bioprospecting proposal for biological resources under the management jurisdiction of the three agencies; standard monitoring scheme to guide the implementing agencies in monitoring compliance of researchers to agreements; the quota for collection amount of bioprospecting fee, performance/rehabilitation bond, payment of royalties sharing;

2. Strengthen the capability of DENR personnel in implementing the guidelines through provision of

trainings/seminars on: bioprospecting guidelines itself and related laws, wildlife identification; 3. Promote awareness of the public on the concert of bioprospecting and related laws; and 4. Identify the terms and reference for a management information system for bioprospecting in the Philippines which

could be develop in the future. EXPECTED OUTPUTS: 1. Joint DENR-DA-PCSD-NCIP Administrative Order Re: Guidelines for Bioprospecting Activities in the Philippines; 2. Trained DENR Regional personnel on the bioprospecting guidelines and related laws; 3. Trained DENR Regional personnel on identification of Wildlife species with focus on threatened species; 4.

River Basin and Water shed Management Program Project (RBWMP) -

Ligawasan Marsh Biodiversity Conservation Component

SECTOR : Biodiversity/Forestry

SITES COVERED: Liguasan, Ebpanan and Libungan Marshes

(Region XII and ARMM)

DESCRIPTION:

This is part of the River Basin and Watershed Management Program (RBMP) which has a long term objective

of implementing an integrated and comprehensive development and management of water resources in the country

based on hydrological boundaries or river basins. As the pilot area of the RBMP, the Mindanao River Basin was

selected in view of the competitive demands of water within the basin from various sectors/areas, siginificant of which

is the Liguasan marsh.

The Liguasan marsh comprising the larger liguasan marsh and the smaller Libungan and Ebpanan marshes

is one of the country's largest wetlands and occupies about 10% of the Mindanao River Basin area. It supports

significant variety of wild flora and fauna. Because of this, the Marsh has been identified as a distinct and unique

region among the 15 bio-geographic regions of the country. Newertheless, while there is a general desire for

conservation of the area and the Liguasan Marsh Development Master Plan for the period 1999-2025 recommends the

inclusion of the marsh in the NIPA System, there is not enough basis at present to support the recommendation.

Moreover, a considerable part of the marsh area is already under agriculture during the dry season and there is a

demand from farmers to make these areas suitable for two cropping seasons. Hence, the Project which would mainly

entail a protected are suitability assessment (PASA) of the area will have to be undertaken to provide the solid

scientific and statistical basis to resolve conflicting demands for conservation and development of the marsh.

OBJECTIVE/S :

To properly manage the Liguasan Marsh system (which forms part of the Mindanao River Basin) and the

biodiversity therein through a participatory approach with the end view of increasing rural incomes and improving the living

and health conditions of the communities within the area.

TARGET BENEFICIARIES: LGUs, local communities

EXPECTED OUTPUTS :

1. Phase I - Protected Area Suitability Assessment (PASA) for the Liguasan Marsh prepared

2. Phase II – Biodiversity Component - Project Document for the Management and Development of the Liguasan

Marsh prepared

COMPONENTS:

1. Initial orientation and coordination with all stakeholders in the Project;

2. Review of secondary data on the Liguasan, Libungan and Ebpanan marshes;

3. Consultation with and interview of key informants;

4. Participatory community appraisal ;

5. Conduct of ethnographic study;

6. Conduct of biodiversity inventory.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION :

The Philippine government established the Inter-Agency Committee on Climate Change (IACCC) in May 1991, to

serve as the agency that coordinates various activities related to climate change, prepares climate change policies,

and negotiates with the UNFCCC on Philippine positions. Subsequently, the Philippines signed the United Nations

Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in July 1992, and the Kyoto Protocol in April 1998. These

agreements are in support of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) framework. In June 1994, the DENR was

appointed as the Designated National Authority (DNA). It is expected that projects which have not been realized due

to financial, economic and other difficulties will be implemented as CDM activities. In order to promote CDM projects, it

is necessary to strengthen the DENR.

OBJECTIVE/S :

To develop and strengthen the capacity of the DENR (as Philippine DNA) through: the formulation of CDM promotion

measures, establishment of a helpdesk and clearing house, implementation of workshops at local level, and

formulation of recommendations for CDM promotion.

PHILIPPINES : Manila Bay Area (National Capital Region, Region III, Region IV)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The GEF/UNDP/IMO Regional Programme on Building Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of

East Asia is the second phase of the Regional Programme on Marine Pollution Prevention and Management in the

Seas of East Asia which was implemented from 1994-1999.

The Programme integrates two management frameworks: integrated coastal management framework, which

addresses land-water interactions and negative impacts of human activity; and risk assessment or risk management

framework, which focuses on human activities and their impact in sub-regional seas. These activities, reinforced with

appropriate coastal marine policy and environmental investment options, will deploy a programmatic and strategic

approach to address multi-focal environmental concerns through a sustainable regional mechanism, especially trans-

boundary environmental issues arising from population pressure and national economic development.

The Manila Bay is one of the 12 sites under the PEMSEA Regional Programme. The Bay is confronted with complex

environmental issues and it is for this main reason that it is fitting for the Programme’s objective -- shared responsibility

in addressing the complex environmental risks and challenges, as this is beyond the capacity of any single

government, agency, community, group or individual.

OBJECTIVE/S :

PEMSEA Programme:

1. Build national and regional capacity to implement integrated

coastal management programmes;

2. Promote multi-country initiatives in addressing priority trans-

boundary environmental issues;

3. Reinforce and establish a range of function networks

designed;

4. Identify environmental investment opportunities, promote

mechanisms such as public-private sector partnerships, and

package environmental projects for financing and other

forms of developmental assistance;

5. Provide advance scientific and technical input to support

decision-making in coastal and marine management;

6. Develop integrated information management systems

linking selected project sites;

7. Establish an enabling environment to reinforce the delivery

capabilities and advance the concerns of non-government

and community-based organizations, environmental journalists, religious groups and other stakeholders;

8. Strengthen national capabilities for developing integrated coastal and marine policies; and

Itogon Integrated Watershed Management Project

SECTOR : Forestry / Upland

SITES COVERED : Itogon Watershed Areas covering 9 Barangays (Municipality of Itogon- (Ampucao, Dalupirip,

Gumatdang, Loacan, Poblacion, Tinongdan, Tuding, Ucap, and Virac).

CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT : Loan District of Benguet

DESCRIPTION :

The over-riding goal for the management of the Lower Agno Watershed (which includes Itogon) is to integrate and

harmonize development efforts to ensure a balance between the utilization and conservation of watershed resources.

a. Enhance the hydrological and ecological attributes of the watershed.

b. Improve the socio-economic conditions of the communities.

On the basis of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) entered into between and among the government agencies, i.e.,

DENR, DOF, DBM, DA, NIA, DPWH, and NPC on September 11, 1998. An amount of P137.79 million had been

appropriated in the DENR‘s annual budget starting CY 2000 as its share in the interest payment of the NPC loan for

the non-power component of the San Roque Multi-Purpose Dam Project.

The IIWMP was conceptualized in response to the various issues raised by the people of Itogon that were affected by

the construction of the San Roque Multi-Purpose Dam Project, as embodied in Sanggunian Bayan Resolution Nos. 16,

109 and 126 of the Municipality of Itogon. Likewise, to meet the conditionality provided in the amended Environmental

Clearance Certificate (ECC) of the San Roque project, i.e., to adopt a watershed management plan using the bottom-

up approach, provide alternative livelihood opportunities and appropriate tenure instruments for watershed occupants,

and prepare structural plans to avoid environmental degradation.

The DENR annual appropriation for the SRMP was then sourced as fund in the implementation of the Itogon

Integrated Watershed Management Project (IIWMP) due to the absence of a definite funding source to meet the

government’s commitment to the people of Itogon.

OBJECTIVE/S:

Enhance and promote the ecological sustainability of the watershed and address the socio-economic and cultural

concerns of the community

EXPECTED OUTPUTS:

1. Prepared a comprehensive and integrated watershed

conservation management plan for Itogon watershed.

2. Established soil and water conservation (vegetative and

structural measures).

3. Provided livelihood opportunities to the different

communities of Itogon.

4. Issued tenurial instruments to stakeholders.

5. Formed forest protection groups responsible for continuous

maintenance and protection of Itogon watershed.

Advancing the Application of Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR) for Effective Low-Cost Forest Restoration (2006-2009/Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)) DESCRIPTION:

The Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR) is an approach to forest restoration. It has several key advantages. First, it eliminates the high cost of seedling-production; second, biologically diverse mixture of species that materializes is more stable and better able to facilitate rainfall infiltration to replenish underground aquifers; and third, it avoids costly mistakes in species-to-site matching. The dynamics of natural selection and succession ensure that the trees in place are the species appropriate for prevailing conditions.

OBJECTIVES:

The implementation of the project (ANR) in Region III, VII and XI aims at:

a. Catalyzing application of ANR. The project shall demonstrate a simple, low-cost method for improving performance and success rates in forest rehabilitation programmes.

b. Capacity building in implementing ANR. Through the project, DENR Personnel, LGUs and NGOs shall develop skills to implement ANR. It will likewise a venue to strengthen competence and aptitude for DENR and NGO implementation of ANR by creating a core group of "hands-on" trainers; and

c. Increasing productivity and reducing costs in forest restoration. The project will expedite the rehabilitation of degraded lands, improves biodiversity in protected areas; promotes low cost methods of forest restoration and enhance rainfall infiltrations in watersheds as a result of more diversified vegetative cover.

COMPONENTS:

1. Preparatory Activities 2. Trainers Training 3. Promotion of public support 4. Monitoring 5. Documentation 6. Concluding Seminar
