This program aims to keep the parks varied ecosystem in their natural state, untarnished and unaffected by the outside world. The program also plans to restore and nurse damaged ecosystems back to their original setting. About 96% of the park is under the Strict Protection Zone and closed to all human activities. The remaining portions are classified as multiple use, recreational and restoration zones. The multiple use zone covers 127 has on the west side of the park, occupied by the farmers long before the parks creation. While the management plan acknowledges the farmers justifiable claim to their land, and intend to grant them land tenure security, the future landowners must agree to manage their land in a way that will do no harm to the park. The recreational zone is confined to the first kilometer of the underground river and a small number of trails and caves.

The areas previously used and unfortunately marred by human activities, are classified as the restoration zones and will be re-classified as strict protection zones to give them time to heal. In the past the park has been accused of acting outside its authorities in the Cabayugan river catchment and other peripheral areas of critical environment concern, which has been counter-productive in the long-term. In response, this program seeks to make formal agreements with the concerned local communities to encourage activities that will protect the long-term well-being of the park and their interests as well.

Program 5. Tourism and visitors management

Program 7. Institutional development, organization and administration

This program defines the different players in the long-term Management Team of the park. The parks Protected Area Management Board (PAMB) will advise policies and oversee their implementation. The board will appoint an executive committee that will supervise the implementation by the park superintendent and staff. The city environment and natural resources office will perform an advisory role on technical matters.

Existing DENR guidelines favor those with ample capital rather than the poor community leaders who are just trying to exercise and enjoy their rights.

The proposed ancestral domain management plan is quite independent from the park management strategies. Objectives are more concentrated towards its immediate communitys development. Since people are dependent on their natural local environment, plans are directed to a more comprehensive local agenda. Basically, membersof the indigenous community should manage almaciga concession to be able to generate considerable income that benefits the local community.

Another provision tackles the basic thrust of any organization and that is to unify the tribal community that would support its preservation and nurturing of their cultural heritage. Included here is to have better understanding of their basic rights specifically to be able to read and write that would eventually help them managing their domain and community. Local knowledge and expertise is highly asked that would aid much of governmental thrust on natural and cultural heritage conservation and preservation efforts.
