Province-led Integrated Ecosystem Management: The Case of Bago River Watershed in Negros Occidental: an IEM story

Covering portions of the two protected areas (MKNP and NNNP), the watershed is part of the Western Visayas Biogeographic Zone and hosts a rich array of plant and animal species. These biodiversity resources have varied actual and potential uses, such as food, fiber, medicine, construction materials, handicrafts, furniture, and fuelwood, among others. The watershed irrigates 13,277 hectares of rice farms and 500 hectares of sugarcane plantations. It serves as source of domestic water for most households in the province and supports seven water bottling companies.

Sustaining Productivity of the Hillsides of Negros Island Through Organic Farming : an IEM story

There is one thing different in the Benejewan ISF Farmers Association (BISFFA), from Don Salvador Benedicto, Negros Occidental, as compared to other upland farmers in the Philippines. While others are dependent on harvesting of and thriving on the remaining natural forests, BISFFA has taken on the challenge of making idle uplands productive over the long term. While others produce at the cost of resources and the environment, the BISSFA members have made the land productive while keeping it sustainable. BISSFA does this through organic agriculture.

Libmanan-Pulantuna Watershed: Replicating Integrated Ecosystem Management for Socioeconomic Development: an IEM Story

The Libmanan-Pulantuna Watershed Management Project (LPWMP) is one of the four pilot sites for Integrated Ecosystems Management (IEM) under the National Program Support for Environment and Natural Resources Management Project (NPS ENRMP), funded by a grant from the World Bank-Global Environment Facility (WB-GEF). After five years of project implementation from 2008 to 2012, the pilot site has emerged as a good example of replication and scaling up of IEM from the Libmanan-Pulantuna Watershed to the adjacent Albay Tres Quinale “A” Watershed, then the rest of the Bicol River Basin.

Incorporating Integrated Ecosystem Management with Local Development Plans: The Case of General Nakar and Infanta Municipalities in Quezon Province

 

The traditional municipal development planning in the Philippines through the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) has been narrowly focused on settled communities, the urban and agricultural areas, and the alienable and disposable (A and D)lands. Forestlands and

watershed areas are often not included, or, if at all, just mentioned in passing in the CLUP. Looking at the context of the General Nakar and Infanta in Quezon Province that largely compose the Kanan-Agos River Watershed (KARW), the A and D Land and the forestlands are 10,426
