He helped establish the original International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Pigs and Peccaries Specialist Group in 1980 at the invitation of British conservationist, the late Sir Peter Scott. From 1990 he was instrumental in the development of the Philippines Biodiversity Conservation Programme with initially as core components the conservation programmes for the Visayan Spotted Deer, the Calamian Deer and the Visayan Warty Pig, carried out under MOAs between the Department of Environment & Natural Resources, Philippines and other conservation partners. Over time the conservation activities expanded to other taxa, other areas and other partners, eventually resulting in the Philippines Biodiversity Conservation Foundation, committed to the long-term conservation of the Philippines’ native and endemic wildlife and natural habitats. In recent years, William was the Director of Programme Development and Conservation Partnerships for the Foundation. He worked closely with many conservation groups in the country including the Philippine Biodiversity Acknowledgment Conservation Foundation, Inc.; Negros Forests and Ecological Foundation, Inc.; Mindoro Biodiversity rime Premne earned his B.S. in Biology (Major in Zoology) from UP Los Baños, and Conservation Foundation, Inc.; Polillo Islands later worked as a research assistant in Conservation International, focusing on Biodiversity Conservation Foundation, Inc.; Cebu Pdulong and small-scale fisheries.

William was also instrumental in developing and providing opportunities for Filipinos to pursue wildlife conservation careers – those he had supported are now holding key positions and taking the lead in conserving wildlife in the Philippines. v 1 William was a remarkable character in conservation and a very talented wildlife illustrator. He leaves a lasting impression on all those who met him as he had an incredible grasp of the details of many conservation issues, and yet also had a huge vision. He could also have a fiery temper and had To highlight the rich biodiversity and ecological services obtained from islands, and the very little patience for bureaucratic obstruction. growing threats from invasive alien species, pollution, habitat degradation and climate change, among others, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) dedicated the May 2014 World Biodiversity Day celebrations to island biodiversity.

I would also like to commend the University of Eastern Philippines for hosting this most worthwhile event. The theme of the 2015 symposium, “Island Biodiversity Conservation: Successes, Challenges and Future Directions”, highlights the richness of island ecosystems especially in an archipelago like the Philippines, and at the same time, it underscores the vulnerability of these ecosystems—particularly to manmade threats. The entire nation and the rest of the world have seen the indescribable havoc and MESSAGE devastation that Typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan) has brought upon the people of Eastern Visayas and nearby regions, Samar Island being one of the worst hit areas. More than 6,000 people have perished and more than ten million people have been rendered homeless. We have seen before our television and computer screens entire towns and cities literally vanish from the face of the earth. Message Yolanda, the strongest, deadliest and most destructive typhoon to hit the Philippines, is a grim reminder of the dangers of climate change. As long predicted by scientists, onsidering the present day threats to the protection and the frequency and intensity of weather-related natural calamities and unpredictable conservation of biodiversity, it becomes a rare privilege weather patterns will increase because

  • Fruit Bats As Natural Foragers and Potential Pollinators in Fruit Orchard: a Reproductive Phenological Study
    Journal of Agricultural Research, Development, Extension and Technology, 25(1), 1-9 (2019) Full Paper Fruit bats as natural foragers and potential pollinators in fruit orchard: a reproductive phenological study Camelle Jane D. Bacordo, Ruffa Mae M. Marfil and John Aries G. Tabora Department of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of Southern Mindanao, Kabacan, Cotabato, Philippines Received: 27 February 2019 Accepted: 10 June 2019 Abstract Family Pteropodidae could consume either fruit or flower parts to sustain their energy requirement. In some species of fruit bats, population growth is sometimes dependent on the food availability and in return bats could be pollinators of certain species of plants. In this study, 152 female bats captured from the Manilkara zapota orchard of the University of Southern Mindanao were examined for their reproductive stages. Lactation of fruit bat species Ptenochirus jagori and Ptenochirus minor were positively correlated with the fruiting of M. zapota. While the lactation of Cynopterus brachyotis, Eonycteris spelaea and Rousettus amplexicaudatus were positively associated with the flowering of M. zapota. Together, thirty M. zapota trees were observed for their generative stage (fruiting or flowering) in 6 months. Based on the canonical correspondence analysis, only P. jagori was considered as the natural forager as its lactating stage coincides with the fruiting peaks and only C. brachyotis and E. spelaea were the potential pollinators since its lactating stage coincides with the flowering peaks ofM. zapota tree. The method in this study can be used to identify potential pollinators and foragers in other fruit trees. Keywords - agroforest, chiropterophily, frugivore, nocturnal, Sapotaceae Introduction pollination process is called chiropterophily.

  • Heritage, Poverty and Landscape-Scale Biodiversity

AAlcorn,lcorn, CarolCarol Carlo,Carlo, JulioJulio Rojas,Rojas, DavidDavid Rothschild,Rothschild, AlakaAlaka Wali,Wali, aandnd AAlejolejo ZZarzyckiarzycki Abstract. Rights-based initiatives offer governments, donors and NGOs a new path forward, giving new meaning to old words like poverty, heritage, and landscape-scale conservation. The conventional conservation perspective holds that people in high biodiversity areas are impoverished and therefore destroy biodiversity to meet their needs. Under this view, people are seen as a threat to be removed, restricted, or to be given “alternative livelihoods” means that do not depend on their traditional natural resources. The poverty-alleviation-based ap- proach to conservation, which is politically acceptable to the status quo, persists within policy and project implementation even if it has often been discredited as unsustainable. Aware of the large investments made in rural development and conservation projects without posi- tive results, rural people have become increasingly anti-conservation and suspicious of NGOs that make their living off communities with development and conservation projects that are not effective. The rights-based approach holds that the root causes of poverty and resource degradation can be addressed only by addressing political relationships that govern access to resources and equitable justice. We offer a perspective gained by valuing the strengthening of the rights-based approach to incorporate the cultural concept of dynamic heritage as a means for “balancing the scale” when collaborating with communities for achieving conservation objectives in the landscape.

  • Vocal Divergence and New Species in the Philippine Hawk Owl Ninox Philippensis Complex
    FORKTAIL 28 (2012): 1–20 Vocal divergence and new species in the Philippine Hawk Owl Ninox philippensis complex P. C. RASMUSSEN, D. N. S. ALLEN, N. J. COLLAR, B. DEMEULEMEESTER, R. O. HUTCHINSON, P. G. C. JAKOSALEM, R. S. KENNEDY, F. R. LAMBERT & L. M. PAGUNTALAN We show, based on morphology and especially vocalisations, that the Philippine Hawk Owl Ninox philippensis requires treatment as seven allopatric species and at least one additional subspecies. Morphological distinctions between three groups of taxa are striking, and although taxa within one major group are relatively similar in plumage they vary rather consistently in size and proportions. It has not been possible until now to resolve the species limits in this complex due mainly to the lack of sound recordings of key taxa, a problem now rectified. Vocalisations differ significantly between all seven species, the limits of which are incongruent with all previous taxonomies. Taxa from Mindoro ( mindorensis ), Mindanao ( spilocephala ), Camiguin Sur (named herein), and the Sulu Islands ( reyi ) exhibit especially great vocal differences from all other taxa along with smaller but consistent differences in plumage and morphometrics. Although specimens have been in museum collections for many years, two of these species and one subspecies have heretofore remained undescribed, and we formally name these taxa for science. The recommended species-level treatment and English names of the N. philippensis complex are: Luzon Hawk Owl N. philippensis ; Mindanao Hawk Owl N. spilocephala ; Mindoro Hawk Owl N. mindorensis ; Sulu Hawk Owl Ninox reyi ; Romblon Hawk Owl N. spilonota ; Camiguin Hawk Owl new species; and Cebu Hawk Owl new species.

    No. 2] Proc. Japan Acad., 56, Ser. B (1980) 69 14. Discovery of Triassic Conodonts from Malajon and Uson Islands of the Calamian Island Group, Palawan Province, the Philippines, and Its Geological Significance By wataru HASHIM0T0,*) Shigeru TAKIZAWA,**) Guillermo R. BALCE, * * * ) Ernesto A. ESPIRITU, * * * and Crisanto A. BAURA* * * > (Communicated by Teiichi KoBAYASxi, M. J. A., Feb. 12, 1980) This short article deals with the discovery of Epigondolella ab- neptis (Huckriede) , a Lower Norian index conodont of Japan, in the limestone at the southeastern coast of Malajon Island, the Calamian Island Group, and its geological significance. The general geology of the Calamian Island Group had not been surveyed since Smith (1924) reported the manganese-bearing chert formation from Busuanga Island and limestone from Coron Island, until 1978, when H. Fontaine reported the geological and palaeon- tological results of his reconnaissance works conducted in this island group (Fontaine, 1978, 1979; Fontaine et al., 1979). The Calamian Island Group is geographically situated between Mindoro and Palawan Islands, where the Mindoro and the Palawan Metamorphics are exposed respectively. Concerning the origin of these schists in the Recent Palawan Arc trending from Palawan to Mindoro, Gervasio (1971) and Hashimoto and Sato (1973) are of different opinions. Gervasio (1971) referred to the schist in the Palawan Arc as the basement of the Philippines and the non-metamorphosed Palaeozoic sediments including limestone in northern Palawan as well as that in the Calamian Island Group and the Permian limestone on Carabao Island as Palaeozoic formation deposited in a miogeosyncline, occur- ring in an east-west direction upon the basement schist terrain.

INTRODUCTION Coffee is the second largest export commodity in the world after petro­ leum products with an estimated annual retail sales value of US $70 billion in 2003 (Lewin et a1. 2004). Over 10 million hectares of coffee were harvested in 2005 (http://faostat.fao.orgl) in more than 50 devel­ oping countries, and about 125 million people, equivalent to 17 to 20 million families, depend on coffee for their subsistence in Latin Amer­ ica, Africa, and Asia (Osorio 2002; Lewin et a1. 2004). Coffee is the most important source of foreign currency for over 80 developing countries (Gole et a1. 2002). The genus Coffea (Rubiaceae) comprises about 100 different species (Chevalier 1947; Bridson and Verdcourt 1988; Stoffelen 1998; Anthony and Lashermes 2005; Davis et a1. 2006, 2007), and new taxa are still being discovered (Davis and Rakotonasolo 2001; Davis and Mvungi 2004). Only two species are of economic importance: C. arabica L., called arabica coffee and endemic to Ethiopia, and C. canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner, also known as robusta coffee and endemic to the Congo basin (Wintgens 2004; Illy and Viani 2005). C. arabica accounted for approximately 65% of the total coffee production in 2002-2003 (Lewin et a1. 2004). Dozens of C. arabica cultivars are grown (e.g., 'Typica', 'Bourbon', 'Catuai', 'Caturra', 'Maragogipe', 'Mundo Novo', 'Pacas'), but their genetic base is small due to a narrow gene pool from which they originated and the fact that C.
