MOREFORESTs (Management of Resources on Forestlands through Enhanced Sustainable Technologies)

Antonio, S. et.al. .(2013). MOREFORESTs (Management of Resources on Forestlands through Enhanced Sustainable Technologies). Manila: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.

 

MOREFORESTs supports the continuing devolution of Environment and Natural Resources functions to the local government units, multi-stakeholder participation in managing natural resources, achievement of tenurial security for the uplands and improvement of database and digitization of spatial information for the public lands. It advocates for a harmonized forest policy that is more attuned with the times and helps to realize the paradigm shift envisioned in the post-EDSA Philippine Constitution, the Local Government Code and the CBFM Strategy.

 

MOREFORESTs employs an enhanced Forest Land Use Planning (FLUP) process that will result in the proper allocation of the State’s public lands into protection and production uses, in accordance with existing policies and guidelines. With the enhanced FLUP, the “non-negotiables”, which take into

consideration both global and national interests on protected areas in minimizing the impacts of climate change and in reducing risks from disasters, are allocated and delineated. Therefore, the enhanced

FLUP departs from the existing one by understanding the undeniable relationship between forests and our ability to adapt to the negative impacts of climate change.

 

The emerging issue of disaster risk reduction from hazards and natural

calamities is connected with the integrity of the forest and watershed

ecosystem.

Although unsustainable forest management contributes to global

greenhouse gas emissions, forests have the unique characteristic of being

able to mitigate it by sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere,

and therefore, the concept of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation

and Forest Degradation (REDD+)8 is also a feature in the enhanced

FLUP.

Biodiversity conservation is an integral part of the enhanced FLUP.

The enhanced FLUP is where biologically important areas are properly

identified, delineated and demarcated for protection and conservation.

Also, the enhanced FLUP is results-oriented to ensure that the entire

process realizes the multi-faceted objectives it aims to address.
