OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS (SO FAR)
From among the many accomplishments in fulfilling its mandate, the Center strongly feels that one of its most notable achievements is gaining the trust and respect of the Houses of Congress and Senate, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and other government and private agencies, institutions and organizations not only in terms of collaborative undertakings but more especially in the review and analysis of, and forwarding comments and recommendations on, existing and proposed House/Senate bills and DENR DAOs, MCs, Mos, and other related issuance. In terms of its tangible accomplishments, the following are considered its breakthroughs that made impacts on forest, natural resources and environment policies and directions: Forest Policy Formulation 1. Forestry Act of 1982, otherwise known as an Act providing for the establishment and maintenance of an integrated forestry system, which meant to supplant Presidential Decree 705 and 1559.
Policy Research 1. Dynamic Allowable Cut Algorithm (DYNACAL)
Policy Forum 1. Multi-Sectoral Forums on Watershed Management in the Philippines
Publications Most of the publications of the Center have become indispensable references of students, researchers, legislators, decision-makers, and other individuals/entities in the course of performing their respective roles/responsibilities whether in the academe, the halls of Congress and Senate, environment-related agencies or in the vast rural/upland areas. |
