    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.

    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.
