SUMMARY:(P72AB) Transforming Tropical Forests and Islands: Human Management of the Environments of the Philippine Archipelago in Long Time (1)
LOCATION:K10 | 3.05
DESCRIPTION:The tropical forests of the Philippines have played a fundament
 al role in the character of the archipelago for millennia, providing susten
 ance and resources to indigenous peoples and offering high quality resource
 s for commerce and construction. Now, their increasing absence as a result 
 of mass-deforestation quickens erosion and amplifies the vulnerability of t
 he islands to storms, landslides, and nutrient depletion. A straightforward
  narrative of accelerating and capacious environmental devastation coincide
 s with ‘Anthropocene’ tropes, but also unconsciously advances a myth of the
  pristine and ancient forest prior to the industrial era. The forests of th
 e Philippines archipelago and their veritable bounties of\nendemic flora an
 d fauna have experienced anthropogenic manipulation and exploitation since 
 at least 2,500-2,000 BCE, when agriculture first arrived in the Philippines
 . From the selective cultivation of various plant species by nomadic people
 s to the practice of swidden agriculture in permanent settlements, from the
  construction of vessels from molave to the mass clearing of forests inspir
 ed by regional and global market demand, the character of Philippine forest
 s has been altered and maintained by humans. Studying how these forests hav
 e transformed in the previous four millennia requires interdisciplinary col
 laboration that utilizes palaeobotanical, archaeological, and archival data
 . This panel draws upon case studies in\nhistory and archaeology to focus o
 n moments of change and transition, when shifting anthropogenic demands and
  knowledge of forests prompted local and ultimately regional ecological tra
 nsformations. By exploring this socio-environmental relationship over the l
 ongterm, from the beginnings of agriculture in the archipelago through the 
 proto-historic and colonial periods, this panel will take a first step towa
 rds contextualizing twenty-first century Philippine deforestation within th
 e larger story of how humans actively modify tropical forests they inhabit 
 to meet their biological and commercial needs.
