 Located in North Palawan, the El Nido Managed
Resource Protected Area received Presidential Proclamation in
October 1998. NIPAP has been working closely with all stakeholders to
produce the General Management Plan (GMP). Local support has increased dramatically
starting in year 1999, shifting from an aggressive opposition of some
groups to universal endorsement. This improvement has arisen as the
local community has become more involved in the NIPAS processes and
has begun to see the planning, establishment and management of the
PA as something, which it owns and can control.
