EFFECTIVE COMMUNITY ORGANIZING revealed that, in a number of instances, forest fires were found to emanate from cigarette butts thrown to tall grasses (talahib) destroying plantations established, some of which were already replanted. This manifests that strip brushing, one of the protection activities required under the CBFMA was not undertaken. It must be noted that strip brushing is a suggested maintenance strategy to ensure fast growth of plantations aging from 1 to 3 years and a good mitigating measure to prevent forest fire. The team was informed that the activity was discontinued upon the termination of CSD contract as funds were no longer provided for the purpose. Continuous strip brushing is required to be undertaken until the grasses have been dominated/suppressed by planted trees. It was also noted that forest fire that occurred on February 28, 2005 destroying about 50 hectares of plantations established by SAHA-TFA was not contained as firelines/firebreaks were not established or maintained. The fast spreading of fire also manifests that the designated forest fire brigade consisting of PO members was not capable of protecting/ containing forest fire. CSD areas previously damaged by fire Ocular inspections of the CBFMA area disclosed that banana plantations which can serve as firebreaks were established in agro-forestry as source of livelihood but not established along boundaries to serve as firebreaks. Banana plantations established in parcels 46
EFFECTIVE COMMUNITY ORGANIZING CENRO-Malaybalay explained that the effort of the POs to establish firebreaks such as banana to save plantation from forest fire was affected by budgetary constraints. The establishment of firebreaks was, however, part of project design prescribed in the feasibility study. As such, these should have been established in the proper places during CSD implementation when funds were still available. It was also observed that during the team’s inspection, firelines established during CSD implementation were not maintained. Thus, strong winds make fires almost unstoppable as it could easily cross the established firelines. It would appear then that the following activities reportedly performed by CENRO-Malaybalay to prevent occurrence of forest fire were not sufficient to protect the forest. • Training on forest fire preparedness. • Reminders to all CBFMA PO-Presidents of their responsibilities stipulated in the CBFM agreement to be vigilant in the protection of CBFMA area and to report to authorities any forest destruction detected. • Radio broadcast addressing forest protection. • Strip brushing. • Requiring identified culprits of burned areas to replant and augment affected areas at their own expense. They further claimed that a number of situations actually affected their efforts such as: • Not all CBFM residents are participants to CSD implementation. • Distance from their residences as most of the members are living in the poblacion. • The culture of Indigenous People (IPs) as part of their tradition in agricultural farming which is slash and burn cultivation. To address these concerns, CENRO- Malaybalay intends to implement the following forest protection mechanisms to minimize if not totally prevent occurrence of forest fire: • Conduct IEC to be undertaken jointly by the DENR and concerned LGU. • Give incentives in coordination with LGUs. • Work out for the transfer of responsibility over CBFM area to the LGUs. • Replant burned CSD areas. • Conduct culture enhancement. 47
