194 • Herlina Hartanto Controlling illegal activities Another emergent outcome is the improved mechanism to monitor and control illegal extraction in the forest, in particular almaciga resin extraction. This was the result of the resolution of the boundary dispute and collaborative local monitoring (Figure 6-9). Figure 6-9. Emergent outcomes of ACM in reducing illegal resin extraction and trading
Chapter 6: Facilitating Change from the Inside in the Philippines • 195 The boundary dispute was resolved by a partnership agreement between the PO and the Bataks for almaciga extraction and trading and in controlling illegal activities. At the same time, the PO was conducting its collaborative monitoring and found that the volume of resin extracted was less than they had expected. They suspected illegal extraction activities and subsequently monitored and controlled these illegal activities in coordination DENR, the city and village governments, the Bataks, Tagbanua, and the fishermen’s group. This collaborative monitoring effort would not have taken place without increased communication and trust among the PO and other stakeholders. Challenges in community forest management Lack of partnerships It has been pointed out that the authority over community forestry in the Philippines is not fully devolved, and that partnerships among DENR, local governments, and people’s organisations are rare. Closer examination indicated that the devolution was often conditional, with DENR still retaining control (Gauld 2000; Edmunds and Wollenberg 2001). The complexity of the issues faced by the POs requires the involvement of other government agencies besides DENR. This is especially relevant now that foreign funding and DENR’s financial resources are limited. Local government and other institutions may have the skills, knowledge and resources that would complement those of DENR, and we learned that they would willingly lend their assistance to the POs. In addressing the lack of partnerships in community forestry implementation, the ACM team undertook a stakeholder analysis and subsequently engaged representatives of these stakeholders in discussing areas of common interest on which collaboration and partnerships could be developed. It was clear that not all aspects of implementation should be handled in partnerships with all institutions at the same time. Analysis of their mandates, interests, strengths and weaknesses allowed the institutions to identify areas that needed collaborative efforts and to strategise their resource allocation. As the result, the POs in both ACM sites established linkages with and received support from the Department of Trade and Industry, Palawan Tropical Forest Protection Project, Department of Agriculture, Municipal Health office, and several local and international NGOs.
