To provide a suitable and relatively rapid situational analysis of the geomorpho-pedological and hydro-geological context of the watersheds affecting the Agusan Marsh and affected by the Northen Negros Forest Reserve, and to initiate a strategy of monitoring,
To facilitate the development of co-management strategies involving the various stakeholders in the areas, particularly the marginalized communities,
To classify Satellite images for the two target sites to feed into a Geographical Information System (GIS) based analysis of land use patterns and the social dynamics affecting them,
To understand the Ecosystem of the watershed and build up a GIS-based system of reference for replication.
