  • Environmental Profile
    ENVIRONMENTAL PROFILE Guimaras province is an island ecosystem composed of five coastal municipalities which covers a land area of 60,547 hectares. The topography of Guimaras Island varies from level to steeply sloping with land elevation ranging from 0 to nearly 300 meters above sea level. Mt. Dinalman, located in Millan, Sibunag, has the highest elevation of 267 meters above mean sea level. A simplified topographic contour map indicates that the great part of islands land area is above 100 masl. By comparing the topographic features from the 1956 topographic maps with the present situation, it could be concluded that the island topography has not been altered much by man-made activities. The island’s topography shows quite steep slopes on the western side of island with plateaus and peaks above 200 m in the central portion. A large part or 69% of the total land area is within the 0-18% slope, 19.73% is above 18-30% slope, 9.42% is above 30-50% slope and 1.74 percent is above 50% slope. Figure 1. Slope Map of Guimaras Based on the preliminary Karst subsidence susceptibility mapping of MGB, in the Municipality of Buenavista there are 89 sinkholes (all types) and 85 cave openings while there are 457 sinkholes (all types) and 282 cave openings in the Municipality of Jordan. Figure 2. Preliminary Karst Subsidence Susceptibility Map of Buenavista Figure 3. Preliminary Karst Subsidence Susceptibility Map of Jordan The estimated overall coastline length is 470 kms, 300 kms of which comprise the coastal perimeter of mainland Guimaras while 170 kms cover the islands and islets.

Chassels, M.S. Washington State University May 2007 Chair: Linda Stone Participatory environmental conservation integrates the rights and needs of local peoples with conservation objectives and methods. With this relatively new system, there can and should be reciprocal benefits for the local community and the local environment. However, there is much to be learned in the area of participatory conservation. Based on over two years of field experience and research, I identify successful strategies, possible improvements, and shortcomings of participatory conservation efforts in the Philippines. Given an understanding of local context, I specifically assess a project run by a local fisherfolks’ association on the island of Siquijor in the Central Visayas region of the Philippines. What strategies can/should be implemented in local, national, and international

Our two Project Scientists (outgoing and incoming) were able to travel to the Barangay of President Quezon, in the Municipality of Liloan, Southern Leyte, to undertake a Marine Protected Area (MPA) recommendation presentation. After surveying the site last summer (2017), CCC analyzed the results in order to propose the most ideal area in which to establish an MPA. By considering fish and invertebrate diversity and abundance, in addition to scrutinizing commercially important species and interactions between reef organisms and substrates, it was deemed that although the surveyed site showed signs of fishing impacts, it was in a good position for improvement both biologically and socio-economically; should an MPA be established.

The Philippines is a consumer, source, and transit point for IWT, threatening endemic species populations, economic development, and biodiversity. The country has been a party to the Convention on Biological Diversity since 1992. The value of IWT in the Philippines is estimated at ₱50 billion a year (roughly equivalent to $1billion), which includes the market value of wildlife and its resources, their ecological role and value, damage to habitats incurred during poaching, and loss in potential
