Delimiting forestlands and protected areas from agricultural lands relies on the Forestry Reform Code and the National Integrated Protected Areas System Act. The Forestry Reform Code (Presidential Decree No. 705) sets the rules for classifying and demarcating forest lands, outlining boundaries and prohibited conversions to non-forest uses. The National Integrated Protected Areas System Act (Republic Act No. 7586) provides the framework for identifying, declaring, and managing protected areas, with an emphasis on clearly delineating these areas from other land uses, including agriculture. Together, they establish the authority and procedures for mapping and enforcing the borders between forest lands, protected areas, and agricultural lands. Other options don’t fit because the accompanying laws do not specifically provide the delimitation framework for both forest lands and protected areas.
