There is a good incentive to the members of this kind of community organization. Because it is a government–sponsored organization, leaders as well as members would be invited to several meetings and seminars on environmental projects as well to acquaint and brief them with the existing projects of the national government. Perhaps the most dismal outcome of these kinds of organizations is that it can not last over a long period of time. The continuity of its program is not as intense as compared to the point where the organization has started to implement its programs. The changing of leaders as the years passed by has an indirect relation with this situation. The eagerness and exciting part has gone, so are the leaders which have gained expertise and knowledge to continue operating a designed project.
Because scenarios such as this have already have already been proven in history, local governments should find a way to support the maintenance and continuity of what has been started as environmental campaign. The continuous allocation of funds and assertion of new ideas should pour in to the organization to adopt the changing environment so that it can continue to operate until the real objectives and targets would be met.
Given the wide range of environmental issues, a community-based resource management organization interested in contributing to improving the environment faces a distressing dilemma: which of the many environmental issues should be prioritized? The organization has to choose one of the problems that has the most environmental impact to the community given the prevailing situations in their locality.
There are many local organizations, or local chapters of national organizations, in most parts of the developed and developing nations that are concerned with a variety of environmental problems. For example in the Philippines, the organization, “Luntiang Pilipinas” founded by former Senator Loren Legarda implements programs on forest tree planting and creating and maintaining forest parks in the Philippines with the intention to promote eco-tourism in the country and to promote environmental awareness among its members. Community-based organizations should take the philosophical approach most consistent with their own and that focuses on the issues that have the most meaning to them.
