  • Bat Count 2003
    BAT COUNT 2003 Working to promote the long term, sustainable conservation of globally threatened flying foxes in the Philippines, by developing baseline population information, increasing public awareness, and training students and protected area managers in field monitoring techniques. 1 A Terminal Report Submitted by Tammy Mildenstein1, Apolinario B. Cariño2, and Samuel Stier1 1Fish and Wildlife Biology, University of Montana, USA 2Silliman University and Mt. Talinis – Twin Lakes Federation of People’s Organizations, Diputado Extension, Sibulan, Negros Oriental, Philippines Photo by: Juan Pablo Moreiras 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Large flying foxes in insular Southeast Asia are the most threatened of the Old World fruit bats due to deforestation, unregulated hunting, and little conservation commitment from local governments. Despite the fact they are globally endangered and play essential ecological roles in forest regeneration as seed dispersers and pollinators, there have been only a few studies on these bats that provide information useful to their conservation management. Our project aims to promote the conservation of large flying foxes in the Philippines by providing protected area managers with the training and the baseline information necessary to design and implement a long-term management plan for flying foxes. We focused our efforts on the globally endangered Philippine endemics, Acerodon jubatus and Acerodon leucotis, and the bats that commonly roost with them, Pteropus hypomelanus, P. vampyrus lanensis, and P. pumilus which are thought to be declining in the Philippines. Local participation is an integral part of our project. We conducted the first national training workshop on flying fox population counts and conservation at the Subic Bay area.

  • Knowledge of the Inadequate. Collecting Dragonflies
    Odonatologica 26(3): 249-315 September I. 1997 Synopsis of the PhilippineOdonata, with lists of species recorded fromforty islands * M. Hämäläinen¹ and R.A. Müller² 1 Department of Applied Zoology, P.O.Box 27, FIN-00014 University of Helsinki, Finland 1 Rehetobelstr. 99, CH-9016 St. Gallen, Switzerland Received 10 January 1996 / Revised, Updated and Accepted 6 February 1997 A list of dragonflies known from the Philippines is presented with data on their distribution the of the islands. In addition the 224 named 3 by accuracy to spp. (and sspp.), some 65-70 still undescribed or unidentified (to species level) taxa are listed. Detailed data for 14 named which listed from the collecting are presented spp., arc Philippines for the first time, viz. Archibasis viola, Ceriagrion cerinorubellum, Acrogomphusjubilaris, Ictinogomphus decoratus melaenops, Gynacantha arsinoe, G. dohrni, Heliaeschna simplicia, H. uninervulata, Indaeschna grubaueri, Tetracanthagyna brunnea, Macromia westwoodi, Aethriamanta gracilis, Neurothemis fluctuans and Rhyothemis obsolescens. Prodasineura obsoleta (Selys, 1882) is synonymized with P. integra (Selys, 1882) and Gomphidia platerosi Asahina, 1980 with G. kirschii Selys, 1878. A few other possible synonymies are suggested for future confirmation. A brief review of the earlier studies on Philippine Odonata is presented. Grouped according to the present understanding of the Philippine biogeographical regions, all major islands are briefly characterized and separate lists are given for 40 islands. The records are based onliterature data, and on ca 27 000 specimens in Roland 000 SMF Muller’s collection, ca 2 specimens in coll. Ris at and on some other smaller collections studied by the authors. INTRODUCTION While the second author made plans for a zoological expedition to the Philip- pines in 1985, Dr Bastiaan K i a u t a suggested him to take collecting of dragon- flies as one of the goals, because the knowledge of the Philippine Odonata fauna was very inadequate.

  • Islas De Los Pintados: the Visayan Islands
    Islas de los Pintados: The Visayan Islands Nestled in the bosom of the Philippines central seas are islands which Spanish conquistadors called Islands of the Painted People, Islas de los Pintados, because of the ancient people's custom of tattooing. Tattoos expressed a person's role and achievement in society. Men tattooed themselves almost totally while women were tattooed only in select parts of their anatomy, like arms. Tattoos served like a piece of clothing, and complemented the simple cut of clothes and jewelry, which the people wore. Land. This cluster of islands consist of • six large ones–Panay, Negros, Cebu, Bohol, Samar, Leyte; • seven medium–Guimaras, Siquijor, Bantayan, Mactan, Camotes, Biliran, Panglao • and many small ones, some named Maripipi, Capul, Lauang, Batag, Cabilao, Olutayan, and countless unnamed island and isles The Visayas is situated around 12.5 to 9 degrees latitude north; 121 to 126 longitude. Its climate is tropical and has marked seasons of rain, cool and dry enjoyed by the rest of the Philippines. Its northern islands are within the typhoon path with the island of Samar being buffeted the most, hence its depressed economic condition. The islands are either of volcanic or marine origin. The islands of Panay and Negros are primarily volcanic, and the lofty volcanoes Mount Kanlaon in Negros Occidental and Mount Talinis near Siaton, Negros Oriental supply not only the energy needs of the island but neighboring islands as well. But Cebu and Bohol are mostly of limestone and fossilized coral giving away their marine origins. Name. The islands, however, are known collectively and locally as the Visayas.

Bustamante, UNU Geothermal Training Programme, Orkustofnun - National Energy Authority, Grensasvegur 9, 108 Reykjavik, ICELAND Permanent address: Reservoir and Resource Management Department, Geotherrnal Division, PNOC-Energy Development Corporation, Merritt Road, Fort Bonifacio, Makati, Metro Manila, PHILIPPINES 3 ABSfRACf This study deals with the development of a numerical model for the Alto Peak geothermai field in Leyte, Philippines. Formation temperature and pressure profiles were estimated from heat-up surveys of five directional wells in this field. These profiles arc indicative of an upIlaw zone beneath the New Alto Peak crater and an outflow to the south. The reservoir seems to be closed in the east No conclusive data was gathered on the extent of the reservoir to the north and northwest. A three-dimensional grid of the reservoir was created to serve as input for the numerical simulator TOUGH. Several parameters of the TOUGH input were varied iteratively until a satisfactory match was reached between the measured and simulated temperatures and pressures of the wells. The steady state of the resulting best-fit model was able to replicate most of the prominent features of the observed temperatures and pressures. The current model, however, should be calibrated against production data before future predictions can be made. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT ......... .. •......•..•.. .. .........•.. ..•........ ........ 3 1.
