• Protect soil, and limit erosion and
sedimentation in lake, river and stream
beds.
• Regulate and maintain water sources
for production and social living.
• Forest carbon sequestration and
storage; GHG emission reduction
from limiting deforestation and forest
degradation, sustainable forest • Supply of spawning grounds, food
management, green growth sources, natural varieties and
• Protect and maintain the beauty of the breeds, water sources from the forest,
natural landscape, and conserve the environmental factors, and forest
