The road should be replaced with a bridge to restore the ecological processes in the lake, reduce hazard risk, and naturally improve food security and livelihood for the community.This is the plea of the Tagbanua tribes and I have tried to request to the Provincial government but doesn't have an action yet. Demolish/ relocate the informal settlers beside the lake to reduce direct sources of pollution that cause algal bloom and minimize human vulnerabilities being a natural flood control. The indigenous group are not staying near the lake, which is actually part of their ancestral lands, because they value its ecological importance. However, they find difficulties in prohibiting migrants to settle and compete with them in the use of resources. Empower the indigenous people to assert their right and improve their livelihood sources through organizing training-workshops on human rights and environmental laws.
生态成本
生态效益
用于衡量效益的经济指标
water quality of lake, diversity of fishery resources, normal growth of aquatic macrophytes
经济成本
Cost for the removal of road and construction of bridge, relocation site/expenses for the informal settlers
经济效益
Increase sources of food and livelihood for the community
用于衡量效益的生态指标
Attendance/community participation in road to bridge renovation, voluntary demolition/relocation, and community-environmental conservation activities such as coastal clean-up, mangrove planting, etc.
您的社区在实施此解决方案时面临哪些挑战？
The challenge being faced in the implementation of these solutions was the dialogue with the government for funds, with the informal settlers to relocate, and with the community to participate. However, I believe that it will not totally serve as a hindrance as long as there will be an open communication and that the law will prevail.
描述用于开发解决方案的基于社区的流程，包括使用的工具和流程
The research I am currently doing entitled "A macrophyte-based assessment of ecological status, socio-economic potential and human vulnerabilities of Tagbunsaing Lake, Berong, Quezon, Palawan" is part of my graduate studies. I am still analyzing the data that I have gathered and writing the results. The study focused on how can the presence of macrophytes indicate water quality and soil nutrients, its existing and potential uses and as well as the hazards to human through interviews and focus group discussions.
关注的气候危害
您的解决方案如何减少暴露和缓冲/保护受影响的生态系统？
The replacement of road to bridge aims to return back the normal flow of water in and out of the lake, clean and remove the algae through the water movement, restore the diverse fishery resources within the lake, control the growth of macrophytes, etc. Demolition/relocation of informal settlers can reduce pollution that cause algal bloom and minimize hazards for human. Empowering the indigenous people will equip them with knowledge and skills that will make them more ready for managing their resources.
How has your solution increased the capacity of the ecosystem to adapt to potential climate changes?
By restoring the normal flow of water in and out of the lake, this ecosystem will have an increased capacity to serve as buffer against coastal flooding, storm surge, etc. Demolition/relocation of informal settlers can reduce pollution sources and reduce clearing of mangroves (Nypa and Lumnitzera) Empowering the indigenous people will prepare them to be better adapted to potential climate changes and disaster management
您的解决方案如何减少受影响社区的暴露并缓冲/保护受影响的社区？
These solutions reduce the exposure of both the indigenous groups and informal settlers to potential climate change impacts since it targets to move them away from the risks or hazards that it may cause them like a more ecosystem-friendly infrastructure, policies, and programs.
您的解决方案如何降低受影响社区的敏感性？
These solutions reduce the sensitivity of the communities to climate change since they will have alternative livelihood sources, they will be moving away from potential risks/ hazards near the lake, and they will be more prepared through the increased awareness.
您的解决方案如何提高当地社区适应潜在气候变化的能力？
The solutions mentioned were also from the opinions of the local communities, especially of the Tagbanua tribes. They believe that with the renovation of their road to bridge, they will have more foodand livelihood sources even with changes in the climate. They also believe that they will be able to restore the lake if there will be no people living near the lake, and that all these will increase their capacity to be prepared for potential climate change impacts.
这个解决方案可以在其他地方复制吗？
Yes, ecosystem restoration can also be done elsewhere with similar problems.
