Abstract

Provisions are made in order to provide guidelines to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry staff on the principles of erosion controlling efforts. All efforts will take place on the lands included (or to-be included) into the forestry regime, with higher priority for the lands already in the forestry regime. Community shall be heavily involved. The principles that would be followed on area selection are: (i) areas with on going project implementations; (ii) sizeable areas suitable for implementation of large projects; (iii) areas selected by local population and supported by local governments; (iv) areas with suitable climate for forestation and erosion controlling efforts; (v) areas allowing coordinated and combined efforts with other forestry activities; and (vi) areas integrated with present forests.
