This Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) was prepared for the health component of Output 3 of the Emergency Assistance for the Reconstruction and Rehabilitation of Marawi (ERRM)1 (the Project). Output 3 of the ERRM, which includes water supply and health components, will be financed by a $5 million grant under the Urban Climate Change Resilience Trust Fund (UCCRTF). UCCRTF, as a multi-donor trust fund was created to enhance resilience. 2. This is an updated IEE, incorporating the detailed design of the health units, COVID-19 health and safety guidelines, status of issuance of Certificates of Non-coverage (CNCs) from the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao – Ministry of Environment, Natural Resources, and Energy (MENRE), and further details on environmental management plan. The latest version prior to this updated IEE was disclosed in July 2020. 3. The Project will follow relevant provisions of the Safeguards Policy Statement (SPS) 2009 of Asian Development Bank

  • Species Limits in Some Philippine Birds Including the Greater Flameback Chrysocolaptes Lucidus
    FORKTAIL 27 (2011): 29–38 Species limits in some Philippine birds including the Greater Flameback Chrysocolaptes lucidus N. J. COLLAR Philippine bird taxonomy is relatively conservative and in need of re-examination. A number of well-marked subspecies were selected and subjected to a simple system of scoring (Tobias et al. 2010 Ibis 152: 724–746) that grades morphological and vocal differences between allopatric taxa (exceptional character 4, major 3, medium 2, minor 1; minimum score 7 for species status). This results in the recognition or confirmation of species status for (inverted commas where a new English name is proposed) ‘Philippine Collared Dove’ Streptopelia (bitorquatus) dusumieri, ‘Philippine Green Pigeon’ Treron (pompadora) axillaris and ‘Buru Green Pigeon’ T.

  • A Preliminary Reassessment of Philippine Species-Level Bird Taxonomy
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by KU ScholarWorks Bird Conservation International (2006) 16:155–173. BirdLife International 2006 doi:10.1017/S0959270906000256 Printed in the United Kingdom Taxonomy is important in conservation: a preliminary reassessment of Philippine species-level bird taxonomy A. TOWNSEND PETERSON SummarySummarySummary Alpha taxonomy involves delineation of the basic unit of biology: the species. The concepts by which we define species, however, have been controversial, with several alternatives competing at present, some creating fewer and some more species units, depending on interpretation of species limits. Although it is tempting to assume that species concepts would have little inter- action with the geographic foci of species richness and endemism — and some have so argued — this assumption does not withstand careful analysis. In this paper, I develop a first-pass assessment of Philippine bird taxonomy under an alternative species concept, and compare the results with the traditional biological species concept lists. Differences between the two lists were dramatic, but not just in numbers of species; rather, new, previously unrecognized or previously underappreciated foci of endemism were noted. A thorough understanding of the taxonomic basis of species lists is therefore critical to conservation planning. Introduction Recent taxonomic studies have pointed out conservation implications of their results for several parts of the world (Boon et al. 2000; Lovette et al. 1999; Ortíz-Pulido et al. 2002): new viewpoints on species limits led to new priorities for conservation action, mainly via recognition of ‘new’ (although not necessarily undescribed) species-level taxa.

  • 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.

  • Ultimate Philippines
    The bizarre-looking Philippine Frogmouth. Check those eyes! (Dani Lopez-Velasco). ULTIMATE PHILIPPINES 14 JANUARY – 4/10/17 FEBRUARY 2017 LEADER: DANI LOPEZ-VELASCO This year´s Birdquest “Ultimate Philippines” tour comprised of the main tour and two post-tour extensions, resulting in a five-week endemics bonanza. The first three weeks focused on the better-known islands of Luzon, Palawan and Mindanao, and here we had cracking views of some of those mind-blowing, world´s must-see birds, including Philippine Eagle, Palawan Peacock-Pheasant, Wattled Broadbill and Azure- breasted Pitta, amongst many other endemics. The first extension took us to the central Visayas where exciting endemics such as the stunning Yellow-faced Flameback, the endangered Negros Striped Babbler or the recently described Cebu Hawk-Owl were seen well, and we finished with a trip to Mindoro and remote Northern Luzon, where Scarlet-collared Flowerpecker and Whiskered Pitta delighted us. 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Ultimate Philippines www.birdquest-tours.com Our success rate with the endemics– the ones you come to the Philippines for- was overall very good, and highlights included no less than 14 species of owl recorded, including superb views of Luzon Scops Owl, 12 species of beautiful kingfishers, including Hombron´s (Blue-capped Wood) and Spotted Wood, 5 endemic racket-tails and 9 species of woodpeckers, including all 5 flamebacks. The once almost impossible Philippine Eagle-Owl showed brilliantly near Manila, odd looking Philippine and Palawan Frogmouths gave the best possible views, impressive Rufous and Writhed Hornbills (amongst 8 species of endemic hornbills) delighted us, and both Scale-feathered and Rough-crested (Red-c) Malkohas proved easy to see.

  • Field Guides Birding Tours: Philippines
    Field Guides Tour Report PHILIPPINES Feb 26, 2011 to Mar 20, 2011 Dave Stejskal & Mark Villa I really enjoyed getting back to the Philippines again this year with our group. We had some fantastic birding moments together on this rather demanding and sometimes challenging trip, even to the very end. Every time I come back to these islands, I worry about how much more habitat has been lost in the intervening time since my last visit. As usual, lots had been lost, but much good habitat still remains, albeit more difficult to access. Despite the habitat loss, we were able to find, and to see very, very well, an impressive number of Philippine endemic birds. Perhaps first and foremost of these was the Great Philippine Eagle on Mt. Kitanglad. We had a couple of good looks, though they were a little distant. Still, to see this critically endangered eagle at all is a marvelous achievement! Other highlights of this three-week tour are many, but I feel compelled to mention: --that gorgeous male Palawan Peacock-Pheasant at St. Paul's NP --our close flyby looks at Bukidnon Woodcock Azure-breasted Pitta...a beauty seen well at --a flock of seven Philippine Cockatoos near Sabang PICOP (Photo by guide Dave Stejskal) --those bizarre Scale-feathered and Red-crested malkohas --our outstanding Luzon Scops-Owl --the delightful Silvery Kingfisher and the scarce Blue-capped Kingfishers at PICOP on Mindanao --all of those huge Rufous Hornbills --our surprise trio of Wattled Broadbills at dusk --our skulky Russet Bush-Warbler --and those strange Apo Mynas.
