The major accomplishment of the project was that two Certificates of Ancestral Domain Claims (CADCs) were awarded by the Department and Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to the indigenous people of Palawan in February 1996. The CADCs were awarded to the Tagbanua community in barangay Cabayugan (5.000 hectares) and the Tagbanua and Batak community in sitio Kayasan (7,500 hectares).
The project has produced GIS-generated base maps of Kayasan, Cabayugan and Campung Ulay depicting rivers and creeks, elevation, land use and non-timber forest product (NTFP) concessions which overlap with the CADCs.
