The Oriental Negros Sanggunian is supporting the petition of tree planters in the province to revoke an earlier order of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources canceling 27 Community Based Forest Management Agreement contracts.
In a resolution authored by Board Member Lea Ga Bromo, the SP noted that the order "has caused dislocation of several households."
"The lack of tenurial security may cause new settlement
conflicts which may give rise to untold social, economic and environmental
problems," Bromo warned, adding that it is very possible that outsiders
will occupy the area once it has been left with nobody to oversee it.
