Abstract
The study assessed the DENR-LGU model of collaborative management of forests and forestlands in seven sites in the Philippines. A critical review was made of relevant laws and policy issuances that enable co-management; the challenges and opportunities in implementing this co-management model to promote forest conservation, protection and development; and how these bear on tenure security, livelihood of forest communities, and institutional arrangements in forest management. In turn, factors contributing to the success or failure of co-management were assessed. This paper presents problems and prospects, issues and concerns, and puts forward corresponding policy recommendations to improve co-management of forests and forestlands in the Philippines.
