Tenured Migrants and Other CCPL Occupants. - Tenured migrants shall be eligible to become stewards of portions of lands within allowable zones. The PAMB shall identify, verify and review all tenure instruments, land claims and issuances of permits for resource use within the PA and recommend the issuance of the appropriate tenure instrument consistent with the zoning provided in the management plan and its successor plans.

Should areas occupied by tenured migrants be designated as zones in which no occupation or other activities are allowed pursuant to the attainment of sustainable development, provision for the transfer of said tenured migrants to multiple-use zones or buffer zones shall be accomplished through just and humane means.

In the event of termination of a tenure instrument for cause or by voluntary surrender of rights, the PASu shall take immediate steps to rehabilitate the area in order to return it to its natural state prior to the cultivation or other act by the tenured migrant.

Other PA occupants who do not qualify as tenured migrants shall be resettled outside the PA as determined by the PAMB. The PAMB shall determine, plan and implement a definite schedule for resettling them outside of the PA following the procedures set forth by existing law.
