Strategies

  • Policy Budget Advocacy
Engaging community and local partners to national policy making processes is seen to be the effective strategy for policy and budget advocacies. By filling up the gaps on information and communication flow between and among the national and field levels, the local implementers are able to elevate their agenda and concerns. The established representation of PFEC to different policy making bodies such as the National CBFM Steering Committee and Philippine Development Forum has to be enhanced. On the same manner, the networks and working group mechanisms established in the regional/local levels will also be strengthened.
  • Networking and Alliance Building 
The support and collaborations with networks and partners is seen as a big factor to PFEC successes and gains in the past years. Among these networks include the NGO CBFM consortium, Alyansa Tigil Mina, Civil Society Counterpart Council for Sustainable Development and Alternative Budget Initiatives. The partnerships with these networks will be sustained and strengthened.
 
There is also a need to expand levels of engagements to other networks and groups that may complement the existing advocacy of PFEC such as those that are in involve in biodiversityconservation, climate change and sustainable social enterprises.
 
The Environmental Congresses that PFEC regularly conduct will serve as a venue for coming together, sharing and updating of partners' activities and advocacies on environment.
  • Development Support Communication
The continuous education of partners as well as the staff on environment and natural resources management in an important strategy to meet the over-all goal of this program. Knowledge management such as documentation of IEC materials and engaging with media are among the activities that falls in this strategy.

Ten Ways to Protect and Conserve Our Rivers, Lakes and Streams
1. PROTECT THE WATERSHED Maintain the area of the water reservoir forested and free from garbage and other harmful substance (e.g. pesticides, chemical fertilizer) which can cause negative impact to the ecosystem. Be vigilant and cautious for possible source of forest fire. If there are settlers in the area, encourage them to practice environmental friendly farming techniques like Sloping Agricultural Land Technology  and terraced cropping to prevent soil erosion. 2. PREVENT SOIL EROSION Eroded soil is one of the main reasons why rivers and lakes become filthy. There will be siltation in the river bed that can eventually affect its depth. To prevent soil erosion, plant veitver grass, tress seedlings, bamboo and ferns which can hold the soil. These are also plants which can thrive...Read more...
PFEC Campaigns for Planting of Indigenous Trees in Philippine Forests Rehabilitation and Development
The Philippines is known all over the world for its hardwoods. From 1972 to 1988, the logging industry leveled 8.57 million hectares of forest. During the same period, the industry devastated 3.88 million hectares of forest. Due to the unabated destruction of our forest, only 6-8% of natural vegetation remains.

Unfortunately, nationwide reforestation efforts have limited itself to planting a number of species-gmelina, mahogany and narra.Read more...
