Training on Carbon Stock Assessment and Carbon Sequestration of Disturbed and Pristine CADT areas for the Indigenous Peoples (IPs) Communities of the Kimangkil Kalanawan-Sumagaya-Pamalihi (KKSP) Mountain Range
Training on Carbon Stock Assessment and Carbon Sequestration of Disturbed and Pristine CADT areas for the Indigenous Peoples (IPs) Communities of the Kimangkil Kalanawan-Sumagaya-Pamalihi (KKSP) Mountain Range
Economically marginalized IP communities have gradually given up to pressure to sell the usufruct rights to urban inhabitants with excess income so they can turn woods into farms, plantations, resorts, or rest homes.
Given that forests offer substantial ecological and economic benefits, maintaining a sizable number of tree stands is necessary to protect the forest's integrity. Reforestation, forest rehabilitation, and forest preservation all depend on addressing the
people's financial necessities.
The main goal of this project is to develop Indigenous People (IP) communities as citizen scientists on climate change mitigation. In particular,
teaching IPs how to accurately sample plots that will show how much carbon is stored in the many kinds of forests (primary, secondary, mossy, and other disturbed sites).
teaching IPs how to calculate the carbon stock in different forest types (primary, secondary, mossy, and other disturbed sites).
To teach the IPs about carbon sequestration
To instruct IPs on how to forecast carbon sequestration in the future.
To instruct IPs on how to make money off of the quantity of carbon sequestered and the associated earnings.
To create a guide for achieving Goals 1 through 5.
To include students in their thesis and/or on-the-job training projects.

IDENTIFICATION, TAGGING, AND CARBON STOCK ESTIMATION OF LOCAL FLORA (TREES/SHURBS) IN SELECTED URBAN GREEN SPACES AND SCHOOLS IN ILIGAN CITY
Modernization has threatened the local flora; thus, the Department of Biological Sciences, in partnership with the WE CARE Office, stepped in to support conservation and preservation efforts by providing eye-level interactive, entertaining, and educational identifying tags for our trees and plants in the designated urban green zones and schools. The extension project's primary goal is to locate, identify, tag, and assess the carbon stock of local flora, particularly trees, in a few Iligan City schools and urban green areas.
The project undergoes six phases. During the conduct of Phase 1, the team was able to conduct consultative meetings with Dr. Darwin J. Manubag, City Administrator of Iligan, and the principals of the selected schools in Iligan City (ICNSF - Dr. Apas; TES - Dr. Pirante; ICENHS - Dr. Macarandan). The project team was able to survey the area of inspection for identification and verification of plant trees.
