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.

Compendium of Philippine Environment Statistics 2002 November 2002 Republika ng Pilipinas PAMBANSANG LUPON SA UGNAYANG PANG-ESTADISTIKA (NATIONAL STATISTICAL COORDINATION BOARD) FOREWORD This is the second edition of the Compendium of Philippine Environment Statistics. The compendium is a compilation of statistical information collected from data produced by various government agencies and from data available in different statistical publications. The compilation of statistical data in this compendium is based on the Philippine Framework of Environment Statistics (PFDES) which in turn is based on the United Nations Framework for the Development of Environment Statistics. It covers data for the period 1992 to 2000, whenever possible. Latest figures presented vary depending on the availability of data. The PFDES provides a systematic approach to the development of environment statistics and is an instrument for compiling and integrating data coming from various data collecting institutions to make them more useful in the formulation and evaluation of socio-economic and environmental programs and policies. -

Mamaroba, Carlo Stephen O. Moneva* Department of Biological Sciences, College of Science and Mathematics, Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology, Iligan City, Philippines Key words: Intertidal microhabitats, Cerithium, Clypeomorus, Pseudovertagus. http://dx.doi.org/10.12692/ijb/16.3.157-166 Article published on March 18, 2020 Abstract Various studies have been concerned with intertidal zones in determining the ecological interaction that produce the diverse groupings of plants and animals. This study was conducted to ascertain microhabitat preferences of Cerithiid species in intertidal areas of Bucana Sicayab and Aliguay Island in Dapitan City, Zamboanga del Norte and in Punta Sulong, Baliangao, Misamis Occidental. Microhabitats and abundance of Cerithiid snails were surveyed using the belt-transect method. Specimens encountered in different microhabitats were collected through hand-picking or hand-digging the substratum. Eight microhabitat types were observed and classified as bedrocks, macroalgae (brown, green and red), muddy sand, reef flats, seagrass beds and tidepools. A total of 14 species of Cerithiids under three genera (Cerithium, Clypeomorus and Psuedovertagus) were identified. Kruskal Wallis test revealed that there is a significant difference in the abundance of Cerithiid species among microhabitat types (p<0.05). Using Cramer’s contingency coefficient test, the microhabitat preference of Cerithiids was determined. Cerithium columna had high preference on flatreefs and tidepool, while Cerithium coralium on muddy sand and Cerithium nodulosum on red algae. -

Management Report for Bumphead Parrotfish (Bolbometopon
Management Report for Bumphead Parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum) Status Review under the Endangered Species Act: Existing Regulatory Mechanisms (per Endangered Species Act § 4(a)(1)(D), 16 U.S.C. § 1533(a)(1)(D)) and Conservation Efforts (per Endangered Species Act § 4(b)(1)(A), 16 U.S.C. § 1533(b)(1)(A)) September 2012 Bumphead parrotfish for sale in market, Aceh, Indonesia (photo provided by Crispen Wilson) Pacific Islands Regional Office National Marine Fisheries Service National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Department of Commerce Executive Summary Introduction On January 4, 2010, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) received a petition from WildEarth Guardians to list bumphead parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum) as either threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). In response, NMFS issued a 90-day finding (75 Fed. Reg.16713 (Apr. 2, 2010)), wherein the petition was determined to contain substantial information indicating that listing the species may be warranted. Thus, NMFS initiated a comprehensive status review of bumphead parrotfish, which was completed jointly by our Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) and Pacific Islands Regional Office (PIRO). PIFSC established a Bumphead Parrotfish Biological Review Team (BRT) to complete a biological report on the status of the species and threats to the species (hereafter “BRT Report”, cited as Kobayashi et al. 2011). PIRO staff completed this report on management activities affecting the species across its range, including existing regulatory mechanisms and non- regulatory conservation efforts (hereafter “Management Report”). The BRT Report and Management Report together constitute the comprehensive bumphead parrotfish status review. The process for determining whether a species should be listed as threatened or endangered is based upon the best scientific and commercial data available and is described in sections 4(a)(1) and 4(b)(1)(A) of the ESA (16 U.S.C.
