Analysis of the Aggregated Results of Forest Lands Tenure Assessment in 33 Local Government Units

This paper presents results of assessments of public forest lands under various types of tenure arrangements, regardless of which agency has jurisdiction but within the boundary of the city or municipality with Forest Land Use Plan (FLUP). From April to September 2005, 33 LGUs, with technical assistance of the Philippine Environmental Governance 2 Project (EcoGov2) on forests and forest lands management, conducted assessments of tenured forest lands within their respective local boundaries. These assessments are part of the initial implementation of the first set of legitimized FLUPs of LGUs. The objective of the assessment was to determine if forest lands under the public domain are being effectively managed. The assessment was also conducted to establish a baseline level of management of forest lands as basis for future evaluation, and to prioritize action plan to improve management of forest lands.
