Which office handles Parks & Protected Areas Delimitations?

Delimiting Parks and Protected Areas is a policy-level responsibility of the department, held by the Secretary. The Secretary sets and approves official boundaries and directives for protected areas, guiding how these areas are designated, expanded, or redefined. While technical work—such as mapping, surveying, and boundary demarcation—is carried out by bureaus like NAMRIA and the Land Management Bureau under that policy, the authority to decide and authorize the delimitation rests with the Secretary. Regional offices implement within the established policy, and NAMRIA provides mapping support, but they do not carry the final authority to delimit protected areas.
