Excerpt

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has come up with a set of guidelines for planning and managing of ecotourism activities within nationally designated protected areas. DENR Secretary Ramon J.P. Paje said he recently issued Department Administrative Order (DAO) No. 3012-19 to support conservation efforts and sustainable use of natural resources in protected areas with tremendous potential for ecotourism development. "The DAO institutionalizes the entire process of developing ecotourism within our protected areas, applies its concepts and principles, and ensures equal participation and benefits among the community members and other stakeholders," Paje said.
