 Located
in the three provinces of Benguet, Ifugao & Nueva Vizcaya in the
Philippines, Mt. Pulag and its environs is recipient of several
on-going projects.
Aside from NIPAP, another EU-funded project
(CASCADE) is supporting People/LGU-driven initiatives aimed at
poverty-alleviation, covering the municipalities of Kabayan,
within which much of the national park lies, Buguias and Bokod.
The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) has declared the
communities of Lusod and Tawangan, barangays adjacent and within
the Park as Agrarian Reform Communities (ARC); in 1997, Kabayan
Municipality was awarded a Certificate for Ancestral Domain
Claim (CADC) and finalized a Ancestral Domain Management Plan in
1999; a second CADC has been issued by in favor of Indigenous
People residing in Barangay Amlimay, Buguias, portions of which
overlap with the CADC in Kabayan and the northern portions of
the national park. Both CADCs are being studied for possible
inclusion in the General Management Plan. The park covers about
11,560 hectares.
