Abstract

Former mayor Edward Hagedorn has set his vision “To see Puerto Princesa as model city in sustainable development.” This paper discussed how people have comitted to accomplish this vision and also how they have contributed to recognize Puerto Princesa City as the City in the Forest in Philippines. The objective of this study was to describe, through the use of selected case study, how community based forest management is best practiced while protecting and rehabilitating the forest in the Puerto Princesa City of Palawan. ‘Feast of the Forest’ annual tree planting project is discussed as a case study. Local community, policy makers, academia and politicians of the city have clearly described that the community is fully aware about forestation, protection and environmental security in the city. Research findings further prove that forest cover in Puerto Princesa has increased by year 2010 compared to 1992 records.
