  • Oil Palm Expansion in the Philippines Analysis of Land Rights, Environment and Food Security Issues5
    Oil Palm Expansion in South East Asia: trends and implications for local communities and indigenous peoples 4. Oil palm expansion in the Philippines Analysis of land rights, environment and food security issues5 Jo Villanueva Introduction In recent years, the unprecedented and rapid expansion of oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia and Indonesia, has spurred considerable concern in the light of its adverse impact on the environment, biodiversity, global warming, 5 This study has also been published as a chapter in “Oil Palm Expansion in South East Asia: Trends and Implications for Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples. (FPP & SawitWatch 2011). Oil Palm Expansion in South East Asia: trends and implications for local communities and indigenous peoples the displacement of local (and indigenous) communities, the erosion of traditional livelihoods, and the undermining of indigenous peoples and workers‟ rights. In Indonesia, oil palm expansion has contributed to deforestation, peat degradation, loss of biodiversity, ravaging forest fires and a wide range of unresolved social conflicts. In Sarawak, Malaysia, the impact of oil palm includes loss and destruction of forest resources, unequal profit-sharing, water pollution and soil nutrient depletion. In the midst of the increasing profitability of palm oil in the world market, the versatility of its by- products and its potential as a source of biomass in the food and manufacturing industry, a raging debate has ensued between and amongst civil society and industry members over whether palm oil is a necessary evil or whether the costs of this industry on lives, land and environment far outweigh its worth. Although considered a fledgling industry in the Philippine agribusiness sector and while its size is certainly small compared to the millions of hectares of oil palm plantations in Malaysia and Indonesia, the Philippines has been cultivating and processing palm oil for the past three decades.

Sespeñe†･Marla Maniquiz-Redillas･김이형･추연욱 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Kongju National University Cheonan City, Korea (Received : 22 June 2016, Revised: 02 August 2016, Accepted: 02 August 2016) Abstract The Philippines is a naturally water-rich archipelago capable of sustaining its ecological goods and providing services and needs of its people. Several waterbodies have been declared as natural wetlands in the country supporting the needs of community like water and food. In this study, 65 natural wetlands were considered including six sites that were identified as ‘Wetlands of International Importance’ such as Naujan Lake National Park, Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary, Olango Island Wildlife Sanctuary, Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, Las Piñas-Parañaque Critical Habitat and Ecotourism Area and Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. There are 22 wetland types presented in this research categorizing the Philippine wetlands. Philippine wetlands are now facing tremendous challenges such as land use conversion, abuse of resources, pollution coming from domestic, industrial and agricultural activities, and climate change. This paper provides an overview of Philippine wetlands in terms of their characteristics and components, impacts in the ecosystem, and the challenges they are dealing with.

  • Current Status and Prospects of Protected Areas in the Light of the Philippine Biodiversity Conservation Priorities
    Proceedings of IUCN/WCPA-EA-4 Taipei Conference March 18-23, 2002, Taipei, Taiwan CURRENT STATUS AND PROSPECTS OF PROTECTED AREAS IN THE LIGHT OF THE PHILIPPINE BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION PRIORITIES Perry S. Ong, Ph. D. Fellow, Center for Applied Biodiversity Science, CI Science Director, Conservation International Philippines Associate Professor, Institute of Biology, UP Diliman I. INTRODUCTION The Philippines, the world’s second largest archipelago after Indonesia, covers a land area of about 300,000 km2 [1]. It is one of the 17 megadiversity countries, which between themselves contain 70 to 80 percent of global biodiversity [2]. Philippine rainforest is home to more than 1130 terrestrial wildlife species (Table 1) and between 10,000-13,000 species of plants [3] so far recorded, of which more than half are found nowhere else in the world. As such, the Philippines has also been described as Galapagos times ten [4]. It is also one of 25 global biodiversity hotspots [5, 6] with more than 97 percent of its original forest cover lost [7, 8]. In fact more original forests were lost in the last 50 years of the 20th century than what was lost in the previous 450 years combined [9]. Yet more new species are still being discovered on these islands than any other areas on earth in recent times [e.g., see 10, 11] Table 1.

Villarino1 1Mindanao State University, Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, Philippines 2Department of Science and Technology VI, Magsaysay Village La Paz, Iloilo City For correspondence; Tel. (033) 320-0908, E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected]; ABSTRACT: Lake Lanao is one of the ancient lakes in the world and the second largest lake in the Philippines. At present, the lake is considered pristine, however, the biodiversity potential of the lake is now being threatened by various human activities such as the discharge of wastes from municipal sewers. Municipal sewage contains human faeces and water contaminated with these effluents may contain pathogenic (disease-causing) organisms and consequently, may be hazardous to human health if used as drinking-water or in food preparation. Meranao, the local dwellers of the lake depend largely on this body of water as their source of food and drinking water. Hence, the present study evaluates the water quality of Lake Lanao using microbiological analyses specifically along with five municipalities: Tamparan, Taraka, Wato-Balindong, Tugaya, and Bacolod-Kalawi Lanao del Sur. The study was conducted for three months of sampling periods. Findings showed the presence and the estimated number of coliform bacteria that may be associated with the occurrence of waterborne diseases in the surrounding municipalities. Keywords: Microbiological analyses, Water quality, Environmental monitoring, Lake Lanao I. INTRODUCTION gain awareness on the present condition of the lake and Lake Lanao is one of the most important inland body of water consequently, enlighten the local residents as to how human in the Philippines.

Mahilum Jhun Joules M. Mahilum and Cesar G. Demayo Department of Biological Sciences, College of Science and Mathematics Abstract MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology, This study was conducted to describe the shell shape differences among intra- and inter-lake populations Iligan City, Philippines of P. canaliculata using the geometric morphometric analysis. The shell shape variation among all populations collected is common in the spire, shell body and apertural area morphology. It was found out Cesar G. Demayo that minimal sexual dimorphism was observed on the dorsal portion of the shell where male and female Department of Biological Sciences, populations tend to group separately. While on the ventral portion, male and female populations grouped College of Science and Mathematics uniquely. Results have shown significant variations validated by showing the superimposition with the MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology, expansion maps among all populations which showed the occurrence of variation of the both dorsal and Iligan City, Philippines ventral portion of the shell. This is either caused by the organism’s phenotypic responses (plasticity) or particularly which act during ontogenetic development or directly affected by the environmental factors. Keywords: plasticity, morphometrics, phenotypes 1. Introduction P. canaliculata is believed to be the most variable species among the group Ampullariidae [1] where intra- and inter-populational variations in size and shapes are qualitatively recognizable.
