The coastal communities within the site basically depend on the mangrove and
related aquatic resources for livelihood. Thus, decrease in mangrove forests
affected the communities. Hence, the sub-project also aims to provide livelihood
projects to the residents of coastal barangays. Infrastructure projects were also
constructed to stir economic activity in the community.
The project is located at the Sitios of Mararag, Pinagtuyuan, Pinagbuduan,
Matadling, Panalsangan, Matimbang and Durian, San Isidro, Roxas, Palawan. The
project covers an aggregate area of 782.81 hectares and was financed from the
annual regular budget of PENRO-Palawan. Project implementation was awarded
to a People’s Organization called Barangay San Isidro Integrated Social Forestry
Beneficiaries Multi-Purpose Cooperative (BSIISFBMPC) which was awarded
with Community Based Forest Management Agreement (CBFMA) on December
21, 2000. It aimed to establish forest tree plantation, maintenance and protection.
As envisioned in its Community Resource Management Framework (CRMF), the
PO was to pursue reforestation, forest protection, agro-forestry, timber stand
improvement (TSI), Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR), etc. As provided in the
affirmed Annual Work Plan (AWP) and Resource Use Plan (RUP) for 2003, the
organization is authorized to utilize 48.16 cu. m of felled logs, standing dead and
defective trees and 647.96 cu.m. of planted trees. It is estimated that annual net
income of the PO will amount to P150,717.96 derived from the harvest of 26.27
cu.m. of premium wood and 21.89 cu.m. apitong or a total of 20,419.84 bd.ft.
Inventory conducted in August 2003 showed 332.66 cu.m. of gmelina and 183.2
cu.m. of acacia mangium inside the reforestation area and another 132.1 cu.m
outside the government reforestation due for harvest. There are also minor forest
p roducts like rattan and honey which will provide additional income to the
cooperative.
The Palompon Mangrove Rehabilitation Sub-project (PMRSP), funded under
Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), aims to rehabilitate the once
fully covered by mangrove forests islets in barangays Cruz, Plaridel, Baguinbin,
and Cangcosme, all of the municipality of Palompon, Leyte. The forest cover
