Initially, we want to clarify that our Office can only provide a list of existing Integrated Forest Management Agreements (IFMAs) nationwide. The specifics of these Agreements, including names and contact details of the Agreement holders and other confidential information, cannot be shared due to our strict compliance with the Data Privacy Act. These details are considered sensitive and fall under the purview of this Act, which governs the protection of personal and confidential data

In light of your request, we would like to direct your attention that there exists a comprehensive resource published by our Office, known as the Philippine Forestry Statistics.
