This document provides details on the database structure and configuration options for the pilot implementation of the BMS using SMART, conducted as a feasibility assessment in June 2016.  

Aimed primarily at technical personnel, this document describes the SMART setup that was piloted at two protected areas (Bataan and Masinloc-Oyon Bay), as well as details of the data aggregation process that was demonstrated at DENR head office, which could be used to provide composite data for regional or national biodiversity monitoring. 

The purpose of this study was to assess the avoided deforestation and resulting reduction of forest carbon emission during both phases of the Forest and Climate Protection Project in Panay (ForClim I and II) from 2011 to 2017. For this, the forest cover changes in the Panay Mountain Range (PMR) before 2010 (start of ForClim I), from 2010 to 2014 (ForClim I) and from 2014 to 2017 (ForClim II) were considered.

The purpose of this survey was to conduct a socio-economic impact assessment of the Forest and Climate Protection Project in Panay Phase II (ForClim II) in three local government units (LGUs) in the provinces of Aklan and Antique where ForClim II is being implemented. The survey evaluated the impact of the project with respect to the outcomes of livelihood improvement and sustainable management of natural resources. Household level and group interviews were conducted to gather information on selected indicators for income, livelihood and land use relevant to the project.
