Sustainable Community-Based Resource Management Program | |
|
The SCBRMP enhances people's environmental awareness and builds their capabilities in natural resource utilization, protection, and management. Directed towards the formation of community resource management structures, SCBRMP activities aim to consolidate and strengthen community initiatives against resource depletion, environmental degradation, and unsustainable utilization of land and aquatic resources. It covers the following:
Coastal Resource Management and Development
The Sustainable Coastal Resource Management sub-program is being implemented in the province of Sorsogon. It encompasses many of Sorsogon Province's coastal communities and is currently undergoing expansion in neighboring Albay Province to the north. Projects and activities include community organizing, information and education campaign, gender and development advocacy, the development of a marine fisheries reserve and sanctuary, alternative livelihood generating enterprises, and mangrove forest rehabilitation initiatives. An important component of this sub-program is environmental advocacy and networking and engaging local government in policy discussions and proposals.

Integrated and Diversified Agro-Forestry
The Integrated and Diversified Agroforestry sub-program is implemented in upland areas in the provinces of Aurora and Nueva Ecija. Strategies and activities include community organizing, education and training, legal research and advocacy, establishment and management of community nurseries, farm animal dispersal and livelihood enterprise development. An important feature of the project is the strengthening of multi-sectoral and municipal-wide alliances to address environmental issues such as illegal logging, mining and land grabbing of logging companies.
