Ang Pilipinas giila nga usa ka tig gamit, tighatag ug tinubdan sa mga ginapayuhot nga mga lasangnon nga mga mananap. Kini nakahulga sa pagkawala sa mga “endemic” nga mga mananap, ekonmikanhong panginabuhian ug nagkadaiyang kinabuhi sa katilingban. Ang nasud sa Pilipinas kabahin sa Convention on Biological Diversity sukad pa niadtong tuig 1992. Ang kantidad sa ilegal nga pagpamaligya sa mga wildlife dinhi sa Pilipinas mikabat na ug 50 ka bilyon ka pesos o usa ka bilyon dolyares matag tuig. Kini gilangkoban sa bili niini sa merkado (market value) ug kun asa gikuha ang mga wildlife, and ilang kamahinungdanon ug bili niini diha sa kinaiyahan, ang kadaut sa kinaiyahan samtang ginapangdakop sila ug ang posibleng pagkawala sa kontribusyon nila sa kita sa eco-turismo sa nasud.

  • Analyses of Proposals to Amend
    CoP17 Prop. 10 Transfer of Philippine Pangolin Manis culionensis from Appendix II to Appendix I Proponents: Philippines and United States of America Summary: The Philippine Pangolin Manis culionensis is endemic to six islands in the Philippines: mainland Palawan and the much smaller adjacent islands of Coron, Culion, Balabac, Busuanga and Dumaran Island. It has also been introduced to Apulit Island adjacent to Palawan. Pangolin populations in the Philippines were previously considered part of the Sunda Pangolin Manis javanica, but were split from it in 2005. The species occurs in lowland primary and secondary forests, grasslands/secondary growth mosaics, mixed mosaics of agricultural lands and scrubland adjacent to secondary forests. It is solitary and typically gives birth annually to one young after a gestation period of approximately six months1. It is thought that breeding occurs in August and September. Generation time is taken as seven years. There is a lack of population data, mainly because the species is elusive, solitary and nocturnal. In 2004 it was described by local people as fairly common, though subject to moderately heavy hunting pressure2. There are relatively recent (2012) estimates of densities of 0.05 individuals per km2 in primary forest and 0.01 per km2 in mixed forest/brush land3. Higher estimates made in 2014 of 2.5 adult pangolins per km2 on Palawan and Dumaran Island are considered unreliable4. The species is thought still to be considerably more abundant in northern and central Palawan than in the south; it is reportedly abundant on Dumaran Island (435km2). Local hunters on Palawan report that populations are declining as a result of hunting.

  • Some Data on the Distribution, Conservation Status and Protection of Freshwater Turtles in the Palawan Island Group, Philippines
    SOME DATA ON THE DISTRIBUTION, CONSERVATION STATUS AND PROTECTION OF FRESHWATER TURTLES IN THE PALAWAN ISLAND GROUP, PHILIPPINES Pierre Fidenci1 and Reymar Castillo2 1Endangered Species International, 79 Brady Street, San Francisco, CA 94108, USA 2Research Coordinator, Biodiversity Center for Research and Conservation, Palawan State University, Puerto Princesa City, Philippines 5300; Project Manager, Philippine Forest Turtle Project, Endangered Species International – Palawan State University Introduction The Palawan Island Group is located between Mindoro Island and North Borneo, approximately 600km south-west of Manila, Philippines. Islands included in this group are Palawan (the largest island), Busuanga, Culion, Lampacan, Cuyo, Dumaran, Cagayancillo (also called Cagayanes) and Balabac. Palawan is the fifth largest island in the Philippine archipelago with an area of more than 11,000 square km. The biological importance of Palawan is widely recognized both nationally and internationally. It has even been designated as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO since 1990. The region includes several existing Proclaimed Conservation Areas such as Coron Islands (7,580 hectares), El Nido Marine Reserve (89,140 hectares), Malampaya Sound (90,000 hectares) and Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. Palawan has also been declared a mangrove reserve. Palawan has about 422 terrestrial and known marine vertebrate species. This number accounts for about 39% of all the vertebrate species found in the Philippines. Many of the species are endemic to Palawan and have restricted ranges confined to a small area (PCSDS, 2005). The Philippine forest turtle (Siebenrockiella (= Panayenemys) leytensis) (Fig. 1) is one of the most endangered turtle species in the world and the most endangered turtle of the Philippines (Conservation International, 2003; IUCN, 2009).

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.

  • A Taxonomic Account of Lizards Along Established Trails in Mts. Palay-Palay Mataas-Na-Gulod Protected Landscape, Luzon Island, Philippines
    Philippine Journal of Systematic Biology Vol. III (June 2009) A TAXONOMIC ACCOUNT OF LIZARDS ALONG ESTABLISHED TRAILS IN MTS. PALAY-PALAY MATAAS-NA-GULOD PROTECTED LANDSCAPE, LUZON ISLAND, PHILIPPINES RONALDO D. LAGAT De La Salle University-Dasmariñas ABSTRACT Twenty three species of lizards were recorded in Mts. Palaypalay- Mataas-Na-Gulod Protected Landscape. Belonging to four families; Agamidae is represented by three species, Gekkonidae with seven species, Scincidae with twelve species and Varanidae with one species. Fifty two percent of the species in Mts. Palaypalay-Mataas-Na-Gulod Protected Landscape is endemic which is dominated by forest species. Lizard diversity decreases with increase in elevation. Three major habitats (forest, stream and human habitation) were observed to be occupied by the species and habitat overlaps were observed as some species can occupy all habitat types. INTRODUCTION There is more to the study of the distribution of organisms and species assemblage than simply documentation. Studies in phylogenetics, biogeography, conservation, and management require distribution data on their investigations. Also, considering the rates by which natural habitats are destroyed or altered because of burgeoning human population, the need to discover and protect wildlife populations become more apparent. Human activities aggravated by natural phenomena have rendered wildlife species with limited population size vulnerable to extinction. Despite the current success on environmental awareness, many organisms need to be surveyed (Kanapi, 1988), identified and properly documented to assess their conditions and determine to what extent they are affected by human-induced ecological problems. This study presents baseline information on the species accounts and distribution of lizards of Mts.

Fontanilla1 1Institute of Biology, College of Science, University of the Philippines Diliman Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines 2Katala Foundation Inc., Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines The Philippine cockatoo or “katala” (Cacatua haematuropygia) is a Critically Endangered parrot species endemic to the Philippines with an estimated wild population of up to 1,120 individuals. Threats to its continued existence include habitat destruction and poaching for the pet trade. While protected populations exist in Palawan under the care of the Katala Foundation Inc., no previous genetic studies aimed at quantifying genetic diversity in the protected populations have been done. This study examines two mitochondrial genes, ND2 and COX1, in protected populations of the katala. ND2 was sequenced for 101 individuals while for COX1, 103 individuals were successfully sequenced. Results show that very few haplotypes are present for both ND2 and COX1 and there is a possible reduction of genetic diversity over time. In addition, the nuclear gene TGFB2 was examined for 31 individuals. TGFB2 sequences were highly similar, further supporting the hypothesis of a possible genetic
