Abstract

This study examines the gender responsiveness of management practices in two Protected Areas (PAs) in Luzon, Philippines: Mt. Calavite Wildlife Sanctuary (MCWS) and Mt. Arayat Protected Landscape (MAPL). Using a descriptive-quantitative approach, data were gathered through surveys and external assessments to evaluate the gender sensitivity of Protected Area Management Plans (PAMPs), staff composition, and gender-related initiatives. Findings reveal that although both PAs are rated as gender-aware in their PAMPs, gender imbalances persist in staffing, particularly in roles such as Forest Rangers, Information Officers, and Forest Attendants, which are occupied exclusively by one gender. Operational gaps were noted despite gender-responsive plans, especially in MAPL, where some staff believe men are not adequately informed about Republic Act No. 9710 (Magna Carta of Women), indicating a need for training. Funding limitations were also found to hinder the implementation of women-empowerment programs. The study recommends developing policies to eliminate gender bias in job assignments and promoting equal participation of all genders in PA management. Bridging the gap between planning and practice is essential to achieving inclusive, equitable, and sustainable conservation outcomes.

Abstract

This research contributes to the documentation of the indigenous knowledge and social practice of the Kankana-ey in Bas-ang. This study determined the socio-demographic profile of the respondents and assessed their level of awareness and extent of knowledge on TSFMP, quantified the effectiveness of the adoption of TSFMP, and determined the significance of practicing the distinct TSFMP of Bas-ang. The data collected from a total of 234 respondents has been interpreted and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results show that most respondents are aged 41-45, while those aged 71-75 are the lowest. In terms of gender, 60.17% are male. In civil status, 92.17% are married. In addition, many did not finish college degrees, and a few did not receive formal education. Given their educational background, some are construction workers. Painters, mechanical technicians, and OFWs were determined to be the lowest respondents. The challenges met by the respondents, however, were poor information dissemination on factors affecting TSFMP and knowledge in performing “id-idew” and marking of trees (gitabam).
