It is clear that we must work towards a shift away from practices that are having such devastating impacts, not just on biodiversity, but on human health. If the global pandemic has shown us anything, it is how deeply and intrinsically linked human and wildlife health are. We must learn to treat nature – both species and natural habitats – with much greater respect. We all hope that as COVID-19 vaccines are gradually rolled out, travel, events and other activities can Looking ahead towards 2021 and beyond, the world begin to resume. The IUCN World Conservation can start to recover and rebuild using the lessons Congress is one event that I am particularly hopeful we have learned.

We also hope that conservation and recovery of species of this planet, the Convention on Biological Diversity meeting and an appreciation for the contribution they make will conclude with a firm commitment from all to human existence. governments to stop extinction and bring about the recovery of all threatened species.

  • Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030
    Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030 Regional Development Council 02 Tuguegarao City Message The adoption of the Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan (CRZDFP) 2005-2030, is a step closer to our desire to harmonize and sustainably maximize the multiple uses of the Cagayan River as identified in the Regional Physical Framework Plan (RPFP) 2005-2030. A greater challenge is the implementation of the document which requires a deeper commitment in the preservation of the integrity of our environment while allowing the development of the River and its environs. The formulation of the document involved the wide participation of concerned agencies and with extensive consultation the local government units and the civil society, prior to its adoption and approval by the Regional Development Council. The inputs and proposals from the consultations have enriched this document as our convergence framework for the sustainable development of the Cagayan Riverine Zone. The document will provide the policy framework to synchronize efforts in addressing issues and problems to accelerate the sustainable development in the Riverine Zone and realize its full development potential. The Plan should also provide the overall direction for programs and projects in the Development Plans of the Provinces, Cities and Municipalities in the region. Let us therefore, purposively use this Plan to guide the utilization and management of water and land resources along the Cagayan River. I appreciate the importance of crafting a good plan and give higher degree of credence to ensuring its successful implementation. This is the greatest challenge for the Local Government Units and to other stakeholders of the Cagayan River’s development.

  • Beyond Sulawesi
    BEYOND SULAWESI 7 NOVEMBER – 2 DECEMBER 2011 TOUR REPORT LEADERS: MARK VAN BEIRS and CRAIG ROBSON This was the first ever organized bird tour to these little-known specks of land situated between mainland Sulawesi and the Moluccas, just to the west of Weber’s zoogeographical Line. We visited the little known island groups of Talaud, Banggai, Sula, the Togians and Sangihe and came away with excellent views of the majority of the extant endemics. The logistics went unexpectedly smooth and although we had to work quite hard at times to get to the habitat of some of the specialities, we got rewarded with some exceptional observations of some of the least known and rarest species on the planet. The bird of the trip was the modestly-clad Sangihe Shrike-Thrush, not only because we will long remember the long hike on steep, slippery trails to get to its beautiful, montane forest habitat, but mainly because of the terrific views we had of this extremely rare species. Other mega highlights included the cute Sangihe Scops Owl, the remarkable Togian Boobook, the seriously weird Banggai Crow, the smart Bare-eyed Myna, the terrific Helmeted Myna and the unpretentious Sula Scrubfowl. We recorded 205 species on our travels. Mammals were not very obvious but both the Peleng and Sangihe Tarsiers conquered our hearts with their enormous eyes. Other interesting animals included Peleng Cuscus, Sulawesi Crested Macaque and Short-finned Pilot Whale. The group convened at our hotel outside Manado, the capital of the weird-shaped island of Sulawesi. In the afternoon we explored the beautiful gardens and started the list with beauties like Barred Rail, Black-billed Koel, Black-fronted White-eye and Chestnut and Scaly-breasted Munias.

  • The Threatened and Near-Threatened Birds of Luzon, Philippines, and the Role of the Sierra Madre Mountains in Their Conservation
    Bird Conservation International (1995) 5:79-115 The threatened and near-threatened birds of Luzon, Philippines, and the role of the Sierra Madre mountains in their conservation MICHAEL K0IE POULSEN Summary Fieldwork on the distribution, status and ecology of birds was conducted in the northern Sierra Madre mountain range, Luzon, Philippines, during March-May 1991 and March- May 1992. The findings show the area to be one of the most important for conservation of threatened species of birds in all Asia. The results are here combined with evidence from earlier surveys by other searchers. Fourteen threatened and 18 near-threatened species are now known from the area. This paper reports on all the threatened and near-threatened resident species of the island of Luzon, with special emphasis on their occurrence in the Sierra Madre mountains. In addition, the paper treats species with very limited global distribution that breed in Luzon, and lists species of forest birds endemic to the Philippines that have not previously been reported from the Sierra Madre mountains. Maps show the known sites for 17 species of special concern for conservation. New data on the altitudinal distribution of threatened and near-threatened species sug- gest that it is essential to protect primary forest at all elevations. Introduction No other Asian island has as many threatened species of bird as Luzon, closely followed by Mindanao, both in the Philippines. A total of 42 species listed as threatened or near-threatened by Collar and Andrew (1988) are known from Luzon including 15 breeding species listed as threatened. The vast majority of species of special concern to conservation (threatened, near- threatened and restricted-range) depend on forested habitats.
