OUR HISTORY
The NGP is a response to the conditions of our times, where:
- Increased upland population has led to the misuse of forest lands and resources, leading to destructive activities like slash-and-burn farming and illegal logging;
- Eight million hectares of forest lands are unproductive, open, denuded, or degraded; and
- Ecosystems are less stable and more prone to disasters.
The NGP is rationalized through Executive Order 26, signed by President Benigno S. Aquino III in February 24, 2011, which reaffirms that it is state policy "to pursue sustainable development for poverty reduction, food security, biodiversity conservation, and climate change mitigation and adaptation."
