2002. Delineating and Managing the Ancestral Domain. Tools and Insights from Indigenous Communities in Palawan, Philippines.

By Mercado, Nellibeth V. and Maria Victoria M. Sabban-Iglesia.

A guide book/learning tool for support organizations, local associations and indigenous communities. This booklet draws from the experiences of NATRIPAL, the United Tribes of Palawan. This is not a prescriptive manual to the management of ancestral domains but the authors invite its readers to use what is relevant and useful to them in their own contexts and stages in the ancestral domain delineation and management process.

The English version is available for non-Tagalog speakers and is especially intended for IP communities and support groups of other Asian countries.
