  • Floristic Composition, Vegetation Structure, and Diversity Pattern Of
    Ecosystems & Development Journal 8(2): 3-27 October 2018 ISSN 2012– 3612 ABSTRACT Mt. Calavite Wildlife Sanctuary (MCWS) is regarded as home to more than a hundred species of plants, but its floristic composition, vegetation structure, and diversity pattern remained unclear since its declaration as a protected area. Floristic Composition, After the recent plant diversity assessment conducted following the prescribed methodology by the DENR–Biodiversity Vegetation Structure, and Management Bureau, the conservation value of the mountain was emphasized. This paper provides a concrete evidence that Diversity Pattern of Mt. MCWS is home to diverse yet unique species of plants. A total of 181 morpho–species belonging to 67 families were recorded. Calavite Wildlife Sanctuary: MCWS now holds a large number of species of at least 250 morpho–species based on the assessment and gathered Basis for Management and secondary data. Thirty–three (33) are threatened and forty–six (46) species are endemic to the Philippines. Four (4) species Conservation Planning are known to occur only in MCWS, namely – Ardisia 1,2 1,3* calavitensis Merr., Peristrophe cordatibractea Merr., Pastor L. Malabrigo, Jr. , Adriane B. Tobias and Urophyllum mindorense Merr., and Cyrtochloa mindorensis S. Jeferson C. Boncodin1 Dranf. Majority of the species (about 67%) recorded are non– endemic indigenous. Dominant species in MCWS from 200 masl to 600 masl were also revealed. Mostly are species belonging to Fabaceae, Lauraceae, Malvaceae, Moraceae, Myrtaceae, Phyllanthaceae, Rubiaceae, Sapindaceae, and Sterculiaceae. MCWS, being comprised of a mosaic of different vegetation from grassland to secondary forest, has generally a INTRODUCTION stunted vegetation due to harsh environmental condition.

  • The Pride and Joy of the Bacoeños of Oriental Mindoro
    1 E-KWENTO SEPTEMBER 2020 Sitio Lagunlong Community Development Organization: The Pride and Joy of the Bacoeños of Oriental Mindoro Sitio Lagunlong Community Development Organization here was never a clear-cut path in reaching one’s dream. No one has gone down the same road and no one has experienced the exact same things. But one thing has always been certain to those who have achieved their dreams – pressing forward will not always be easy but it will always be worth it. This has been true for the people T of the remote Sitio Lagunlong in Barangay Water, Baco, Oriental Mindoro. Indigenous Mangyans have long resided on Mount Halcon in the town of Baco – home of 40,000 people where only a few were privileged enough to graduate in college and most of whom are jobless and have no stable source of income. No one will ever think that this town will amount to something big until one person dared to dream not just for himself, but also for his community. It all started with a small dream for Mr. Jordan Fajardo, Chairperson and Founder of Sitio Lagunlong Community Development Organization (SLCDO). He established SLCDO on February 5, 2014 as a microfinance institution with 20 members to help people in the community make ends meet and run their micro businesses. “Nagsimula kasi talaga siya sa isang pangarap. Na itong komunidad na ito ay magkaroon ng isang asosasyon na kumbaga, magiging kaagapay ng mga mamamayan sa community para mag giya doon sa pag-unlad ng kabuhayan ng bawat miyembro at magkaroon sila ng pagkakakitaan.” Mr.

Halcon Range in Oriental Mindoro province is the general output of the planning processes convened and facilitated jointly by the Provincial Government of Oriental Mindoro and the Mindoro Biodiversity Conservation Foundation, Inc. The provincial government issued Executive Order No. 47, entitled “An Executive Order Creating the Technical Working Group to Formulate the Mt. Halcon Conservation and Protection Plan, Defining its Functions and for Other Purposes.” The said EO provided a mandate for the different planning processes to proceed, and defined the framework for the development of this plan. This plan aims to serve as a guide to stakeholders in the management of Mt. Halcon as a biodiversity important site and as a culturally significant area. Representatives from local government units, Indigenous Peoples, non-government organizations, and concerned national government agencies led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the National Commission for Indigenous Peoples, participated in a series of planning workshops conducted for the development of this management plan.

  • CY 2010 Air Quality Status Report
    ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT CY 2010 AIR QUALITY STATUS BUREAU REPORT REGION IVB | DENR-EMB-Region IVB CY 2010 Air Quality Status Report I. Introduction Consistent with the provisions of Section 9 of Republic Act 8749 otherwise known as the Philippine Clean Air Act (PCAA) of 1999 and Section 1, Rule XV of its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), upon recommendation of the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) divided certain geo-political regions in the country into airsheds. As of date, eighteen (18) airsheds had been officially designated by DENR, five (5) of which are geothermal airsheds. Formulation and implementation of policies and programs in the management of the air quality in each of these airsheds are carried out by a multi-sectoral body called as the airshed Governing Board. On 16 January 2006, the Baco - Calapan City - Naujan (BCN) Airshed and its Governing Board was established under DENR Administrative Order (DAO) No. 02 Series of 2006. Located in Oriental Mindoro, it is the first airshed established within the administrative jurisdiction of Region IVB or MIMAROPA (Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan) Region. II. Description of Airshed Area The City of Calapan and Municipalities of Baco and Naujan are located at the northern part of Oriental Mindoro. Calapan City, the capital of the whole province, adjoins the Municipality of Baco on its western area and bounded by the Municipality of Naujan on the south - southwestern section. Baco- Calapan City – Naujan lies at the foot of Mount Halcon on the west fertile valleys that extends towards the eastern coast and irregular coastline has similar climate, weather, meteorology and topology, which affects the interchange and diffusion of pollutants in the atmosphere.

Biodiversitas 19: 2163-2174. The vegetation of Halcon Range is diverse, unique, and culturally important; however, there is a very limited information on its altitudinal distribution and structure, leading to the formation of land uses that trigger problem in sustainable management decisions for the mountain. This study analyzed the vegetation in land use types distribution along the altitudinal gradient of Mt. Ilong, Halcon Range, Mindoro, Philippines. Fourteen plots of 10 x 10m were established along the slope from 100m-1400m elevation. The tree species that were sampled from the plots were subjected to classification and ordination analyses. The dendrogram showed three distinct vegetation zones corresponding land use types: Zone I (agroforest land use zone), Lansium- Artocarpus-Swietenia-Ficus-Nephelium-Mangifera zone; Zone II (forest land use zone), Cyathea-Astronia-Syzygium-Garcinia-Ficus- Psydrax-Diplodiscus zone; and Zone III (forest land use zone), Agathis-Suli-Alitugba-Ardisia zone.
