No. 13025 Project Title Pioneering Community-Based Conservation Sites in the Polillo Islands Country(ies) Philippines UK Organisation Fauna and Flora International Collaborator(s) Polillo Islands Biodiversity Conservation Foundation, Inc. Report date April 2006-September 2006 Report No. (HYR HYR #2 1/2/3/4) Project website 1. Outline progress over the last 6 months (April – September) against the agreed baseline timetable for the project Key accomplishments during the period April-September 2006 were as follows: 1. Biological surveys completed and priority sites selected and mapped. Biological surveys were completed in two more key areas during this period, namely Barangay Anibawan in Aluyon and Sitio Litid, Barangay Lipata in Panukulan. Full technical reports on these surveys are being prepared and will be summarised in future reports. A preliminary ‘marine resource assessment’ was completed in September by four scientists from the UK NGO, Coral Cay Conservation (CCC), assisted by PIBCFI personnel. This project was prompted by recommendations arising from earlier surveys, and involved rapid assessments of coral cover, and coral and fish diversity, in 12 discrete sites in coral reefs fringing Polillo and Burdeos Municipalities. Results indicate that over-fishing, especially cyanide and dynamite fishing, remains a serious problem in most areas, though areas of good to excellent reef cover, and high species diversity and abundance were confirmed in fish sanctuaries established and managed by local communities in some areas. Findings and recommendations arising from this project and the earlier surveys will now be used to develop new project funding proposals intended to extend these surveys, conduct awareness campaigns and assist implementation of relevant conservation management interventions in selected, highest priority areas.

  • Gender-Responsive Toolkit on Ecotourism Planning and Management
    Gender-responsive Toolkit on Ecotourism Planning And Management GREAT Women Project Management Office Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) December 2013 Quezon City, Philippines Message Tourism is one of the major sectors that drive our economy. In the tourism industry, it is mainly the women who are in the forefront of tourism – related activities. Undoubtedly, the heavy influx of tourists also brings about environmental degradation; hence the term ecotourism was coined to ensure that tourism activities will not have adverse effects on the natural environment. Although ecotourism is becoming widely – known, women’s roles and participation in various ecotourism activities are still understated and not considered in ecotourism planning and management. The Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) through the Gender Responsive Economic Actions for the Transformation of Women (GREAT) Project, partnered with the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in the development of this Tool Kit which aims to provide information to LGUs and protected area managers in preparing and developing their ecotourism management plans and ensuring that ecotourism strategies are gender responsive. The PCW commends the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau for developing this tool kit and I would like to thank the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD) of Canada for their untiring support to the GREAT Women Project. As we work together as partners in the dissemination and utilization of this Tool Kit, we look forward to seeing more women participating and benefiting from ecotourism activities REMEDIOS I.

    Mapping the Eco-Social Construct of Santa Rosa An Emerging City in a Watershed of Opportunities for Development Nathaniel C. Bantayan1 Leah P. Dela Rosa2 Sylvia D. Clemente 2 Maria Magdalene P. Guevarra1 Kyle Pierre R. Israel1 1 Institute of Renewable Natural Resources, College of Forestry and Natural Resources University of the Philippines - Los Baños 2 College of Architecture University of Santo Tomas Abstract The years 1946 to 2020 saw the gradual dwindling of Santa Rosa City, Laguna’s agricultural land, from 96% to 15.4%. Meanwhile, the city’s urbanization catapulted to 84.5% by 2013 from just below 4% in 1946. Under the regional development plan of the Aquino Administration designating Region IV-A, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon (CALABARZON) as the industrial hub of the country, and driven by the increased access with the construction of the expressway in the 1980s, Santa Rosa City’s manufacturing industry rose from 746 in 1980 to 5,201 in 2013, a near 700% increase. Today, Santa Rosa City is at the heart of BANTAYAN, ET AL.: MAPPING THE ECO-SOCIAL UNITAS 326 the urbanization and industrialization, topping Metro Manila’s economic growth. The highest population density is concentrated at the shore areas of Laguna Lake, the largest freshwater lake in the Philippines. From an environmental perspective, this is an economic bubble waiting to burst, but the effect to the city’s environmental sustainability is dire: water abstrac- tion at its highest may lead to land subsidence, not to mention water scar- city, which the environmental effects lead to the increased pollution of its catchments, waterways, and the shoreline, and continuous land conversion particularly for housing are imperiling its array of ecosystem services.

    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.
