Abstract
This issue presents critical studies on forestry, soil erosion, migration, and economic impacts of upland resource management in the Philippines. Several articles address logging, deforestation, and land conversion, emphasizing their consequences for soil erosion and sustainable land use. A study on population pressure and migration examines their effects on upland development through macro- and micro-level analyses, utilizing topographic maps, serial photographs, and village-level data. Another article evaluates the degree of soil erosion across watersheds and proposes a land use planning and allocation framework to mitigate degradation. Economic assessments of upland exploitation are explored in a report on the on-site and downstream costs of soil erosion, using case studies from the Magat and Pantabangan watersheds. An analysis of private sector involvement in upland resource management reviews commercial forestry, reforestation, and communal tree farming.
