Resumen

The first Philippine Master Plan for Forestry Development was formulated in 1990 to revitalize the continuously declining forestry sector in the country. This plan was revised in 2003 after a UNDP fact-finding mission on preliminary review noted that although there were successes in the Master Plan implementation in selected areas, several major programs did not progress. Ten years after its implementation, the Forest Management Bureau (FMB) decided to update the 2003 Revised Master Plan for Forestry Development (RMPFD), this time taking into consideration the potential impacts of climate change to the forestry sector (pag. XIV). The 2003 RMPFD focuses on sustainable forest management, poverty alleviation and food security in upland communities in the Philippines. Incorporating issues of climate change in the forestry master plan, the plan among others, it is concerned with the following: Reducing net emission of GHG from natural forests; Increasing carbon stocks and sequestration; Aligning land uses to minimize externalities; Promoting ecosystem stability; Improving productivity and ecosystem services; Promoting livelihood and food security, etc. (pag. 7).
