Abstract

Considering Philippines’s well defined commitment toward social forestry system since 1970s, we examined its purpose of contribution, motivation and achievement toward reforestation and forest conservation through interviews with related stakeholders, as well as decadal forest cover changes by analyzing the forest type classification map of two different period of time which were prepared based on Earth Observation Satellite (EOS) image data and field sampling. EOS based forest cover change analysis, coupled with field sampling and stakeholder consultation, resulted into definitive facts and figures, which can be used for reforestation and forest conservation decision making process.
