Regional Composite Survey Team surveys delimit the boundaries of forestlands and national parks/protected areas from which lands?

• A. Agricultural lands
• B. Forestlands and national parks/protected areas
• C. Urban areas
• D. Public lands

Answer: (A)

The main idea is how boundaries between protected areas and other land categories are defined on the ground. In the Philippines, forestlands and national parks/protected areas are part of a protected public land category, while agricultural lands are lands of the public domain that have been classified as alienable and disposable. To properly manage and enforce protections, the Regional Composite Survey Team marks the line where forestlands and protected areas end and agricultural lands begin. This delineation is essential because it shows exactly which land is under protection and which land may be used for agricultural purposes, helping prevent encroachment and ensuring correct land-use classification.
