| Abstract: |
| Community-based forest management (CBFM) is a major strategy in
managing forest lands in the Philippines. Forest and land management activities
implemented in CBFM project sites include management of tropical forests
(enrichment planting, timber stand improvement or TSI and limited
harvesting), rehabilitation of degraded lands (reforestation, assisted natural
regeneration (ANR)) and agroforestry. The environmental effects of CBFM and
its technologies are largely positive. CBFM has led to the conservation of
natural forests and the associated biodiversity. The planting of trees in farms
and landscapes has led to soil and water conservation, carbon sequestration and
biomass production. |
