Cubillas, M.A.P.
Sustainability assessment of the initial phase of the community-based buffer zone rehabilitation project with a non-government organization as main partner of the cultural communities in Mt. Kitanglad Range Natural Park (MKRNP) of Barangay [village] Songco, Lantapan and Barangay Licoan, Sumilao, Bukidnon [Philippines] was conducted. The project planted lanzones, coffee and indigenous tree species through family approach. Ecological, socio-cultural, economic and environmental governance sustainability criteria, which consider both the attainment of the goal and immediate and long term impacts for mitigating and enhancing measures were used. Farm household survey and key informant interviews of the implementor and other stakeholders at different institutional scales were conducted. Lanzones is not suitable due to low temperature while coffee is suitable but requires soil fertility improvement. Agroforestry with conservation farming system and use of indigenous trees enhance ecological sustainability. Capability strengthening of the people organizations to improve autonomy, enhancement of the local government social services on health and education and enhancement on knowledge and skills on climate change adaptation are needed to improve socio-cultural sustainability. Improvement of subsistent level of the communities, marketing of farm products and equitable access to resources would improve economic sustainability. The continuous support of the municipal and provincial LGU [local government unit] and local offices of national agencies ensures sustainability. Environmental management was recommended for project sustainability.
