This report examines whether Philippine national policies and actions have been changed to implement World Parks Congress in Durban (2003), Convention on Biodiversity COP 7 (2004) and 3rd World Conservation Congress (2005) decision and to see how these national policies have been implemented. This research was taken up because in recent history, protected areas were established without the knowledge or consent of indigenous people resulting in the displacement of indigenous people living in their ancestral territories and consequent impoverishment, suffering and conflicts. The study concluded that many of the issues and problems of indigenous peoples in protected areas arise from the non-recognition of their right to their ancestral domains and lands; self-governance and empowerment; social justice and human rights; and cultural integrity.
