What is PAMB?

This Program covers the main in-situ measures to conserve biodiversity within and adjacent to protected areas. It will ensure that the current NIPAS coverage is rationalized by retaining and prioritizing those with high biodiversity values while providing appropriate governance regime for the protection of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) such as through Local Conservation Areas (LCAs) with the LGU concerned and through Indigenous Community Conserved Areas (ICCAs).

To ensure continuity of the full stream of goods and ecological services from the aforementioned conservation areas, sustain habitat interconnectivity and wildlife corridors and improve resiliency of ecosystems in the face of climate change, the program will put premium on protection of natural habitats. Degraded areas shall also be restored/rehabilitated with due regard to their ecological requirements.
