Aurora, Patayan, Quezon, Rizal, Bataraza, Brookes Point, Sofronio Espanola, Zamboanga City, General Santos City, Bongao, Languyan, Sibutu, Panglima Sugala, Sitangkay and Turtle Island, Beneficiaries: Estimated 500,000 hectares of biologically significant areas (Protected Areas, Local Conservation Areas, Marine Conservation Areas, CADT etc.) under improved natural resource management(NRM); about 100,000 people with improved economic benefits derived from sustainable NRM and/or biodiversity conservation; 4,500 people trained in sustainable NRM and/or biodiversity conservation; and 50 laws, policies, or regulations that address biodiversity conservation and/or other environmental themes officially proposed, adopted, or implemented Objectives: Reduce threats to Philippine biodiversity, such as poaching and the illegal trade of wildlife products and improve ecosystem goods and services. Description: Protect Wildlife project will provide focused effort and resources to align conservation policy with on-the-ground action and enforcement. It is designed to contribute to the reduction of threats to biodiversity and of poaching and use of illegally harvested wildlife and wildlife products. It adopts a multipronged and integrated ecosystems management approach that in the long term will improve ecosystem services and redound to increased wildlife conservation and human well-being. The project will focus on at least three pilot areas: the province of Palawan, including Tubbataha Reef; the Sulu Archipelago, including Zamboanga City and Tawi-Tawi; and Sarangani Province. The Page | 1 project strategy for achieving success and ensuring that the project's impact is sustained is built on an eeosystem approach. This approach seeks to address threats to biodiversity while enabling rigorous integration of conservation outcomes with development objectives, supporting strong local ownership and ensuring that lessons learned are applied at scale. Protect Wildlife has five mutually reinforcing Strategic Approaches (SAs) to address the diverse drivers and threats to biodiversity, which include: poaching, smuggling, and trafficking of wildlife species, and habitat loss from expanding settlements, agriculture, ecotourism activities, urbanization, and mining. These SAs are: SA 1: Improve attitudes and behavior toward biodiversity and its conservation in target areas SA 2: Intensify private and public sector involvement in biodiversity conservation and conservation financing SA 3: Improve biodiversity conservation competencies of local government units (LGUs) and civil society organizations (CSOs) SA 4: Enhance capacities of universities to advance biodiversity conservation education, research, monitoring and innovation SA S: Enhance competencies of national government agencies in enforcing biodiversity conservation- related laws and policies n. PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE With a time elapsed of 90% (including the extension period of 6 months), the project has achieved an overall/eumulative physical accomplishment of 91% as of September 30, 2020. The project was expecting to complete all deliverables by September 2020 if not for the lockdowns due to COVID-19 which have severely affected the project's schedule/timetable. A no-cost extension of six (6) months for the project implementation has been granted by USAID and approved by the Project Steering Committee (PSC). Out of fifteen (15) indicators, nine (9) has been completed, four (4) are on-schedule and two (2) are behind schedule but can be achieved within the extended life of the project. III. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE The latest reported fund utilization is as of March 31, 2020 where a total of US$ 16.47 million has been utilized out of the total contract budget of US$ 22.498 million or 73% fund utilization. During the Project Manager's Meeting held on September 9,2020, Ms. Rebecca Paz, the Project's Chief of Party, informed that, as of August 31,2020, they have utilized about 80% of their total budget but did not provide financial figure. IV. HIGHLIGHTS OF PHYSICAL ACCOMPLISHMENT The following are the major outputs as of the reporting period achieved within each Strategic Approach. It should be noted that some of the physical accomplishments for this quarter are preliminary and may still change to reflect the latest/additional developments from the field to some activities/indicators. Data on PES revenue collection, deputation of trained Local Government Unit (LGU) staff as Wildlife Enforcement Officers (WEOs) and enforcement actions are sourced from implementing partners and are usually obtained after the end of the quarter.
