The TNA is one of the milestone activities of the EMBC project under the Global Environment Facility-United Nations Development Programme-Department of Environment and Natural Resources (GEF-UNDP-DENR) Project on Integrated Approach in Management of Major Biodiversity Corridors in the Philippines (BD Corridor Project).
