Integrated Approach in Management of Major Biodiversity Corridors in the Philippines

The DENR-UNDP/GEF project on the Integrated Approach in the Management of Major Biodiversity Corridors in the Philippines or the Biodiversity Corridor Project aims to operationalize the integrated management approach to biodiversity corridors in the Philippines to generate multiple benefits, including the effective conservation of globally threatened species and high conservation value forests, reduce deforestation and degradation, and enhance local biodiversity-friendly livelihoods.

Objective

To operationalize the integrated management of biodiversity corridors to generate multiple benefits, including effective conservation of globally threatened species and high value conservation forests, reduce deforestation and degradation, and enhance local biodiversity-friendly livelihoods

Components, Outcomes, and Outputs

COMPONENT 1: Effective coordination and governance framework for integrated ecosystem management in the Philippines biodiversity corridors system

OUTCOME 1: Effective policy, coordination, regulatory and institutional framework for planning, management, compliance, monitoring, enforcement and decision making for integrated management of biodiversity corridors developed

OUTPUT 1.1: Functional governance and coordination mechanism established at national level to facilitate integrated ecosystem planning and management of Biodiversity Corridors

OUTPUT 1.2: Policy instruments (biodiversity and community safeguard standards and guidelines) for improving biodiversity outcomes within the biodiversity corridors developed and adopted

OUTPUT 1.3: Compliance monitoring and enforcement strategy developed and adopted to measure progress towards measuring agreed biodiversity outcomes, threat reduction, sustainable natural resources management, apprehension of violators and prosecutions

COMPONENT 2: Application of integrated network design and management of biodiversity corridors to ensure continued stability and sustainability of their biological, ecosystem services and socio-economic conservation values

OUTCOME 2: Improved site-level planning, regulatory, monitoring and implementation framework for demonstration of integrated planning and management of pilot biodiversity corridors

OUTPUT 2.1: Integrated ecosystem management framework developed and adopted for two biodiversity corridors

OUTPUT 2.2: Site-specific integrated cluster conservation plans (CCPs) designed through stakeholder and community consensus and decision-making for areas of critical high biodiversity within the biodiversity corridors

OUTPUT 2.3: Improved management effectiveness of existing protected areas within the two biological corridors

OUTPUT 2.4: Recognition of a network of other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs), such as ICCAs and LCAs, to accord improved protection and conservation within key biodiversity areas

OUTPUT 2.5: Capacitating national and sub-national governments, sector stakeholders, local communities, and indigenous peoples to mainstream biodiversity conservation measures tested in the pilot corridors into their policies, planning and monitoring systems

COMPONENT 3: Community-based sustainable use and management systems in the two pilot biodiversity corridor systems in the Philippines

OUTCOME 3: Sustainable use and management systems for land and forest resources that are compatible with integrated ecosystem management corridor objectives implemented

OUTPUT 3.1: Voluntary forest certification system piloted for local communities and privately managed forests

OUTPUT 3.2: Sustainable land management applied to degraded agricultural lands through a suite of Sustainable Land Management technologies, practices, and incentives

OUTPUT 3.3: Fragmentation of biodiversity habitats reduced through Sustainable Forest Management approaches and collaborative management

OUTPUT 3.4: Biodiversity-friendly livelihood and business enterprises promoted to avoid biodiversity loss and lead to natural resources use sustainability

COMPONENT 4: Knowledge management, gender mainstreaming, learning, monitoring, and evaluation

OUTCOME 4: Awareness and collaborative decision-making on IEM enhanced through effective knowledge management and gender mainstreaming

OUTPUT 4.1: Knowledge Management and Communications, Gender Mainstreaming and Monitoring and Evaluation strategies developed and implemented

OUTPUT 4.2: Harmonized information management system to integrate lessons from the biological corridors and make it user-friendly and operational

OUTPUT 4.3: Knowledge Management and project experiences contribute to learning and facilitate replication and scaling up of integrated biodiversity management approaches elsewhere in the country
