Description The Project sees the recognition of new conservation areas such as those managed by IPs, local communities and local government units as an opportunity to accelerate the coverage of the existing system, before the important KBAs are overtaken by threats. In partnership with key organizations, local communities and other stakeholders, the Project directly addresses key barriers and establishes solid foundations for accelerated expansion of the terrestrial system in the Philippines, supported by strong management capacities, and sustainable financing. Components Outcome 1: PA system of the Philippines has been expanded under new and diverse management regimes (ancestral domain, local government and community managed areas) to cover an additional 400,000 has. of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) and with enhanced potential for further expansion; Outcome 2: Improved conservation effectiveness through enhanced systemic, institutional and individual capacities; and Outcome 3: Enhanced financial sustainability of the terrestrial PA system.
