The province of Palawan is part of the “Man and Biosphere Reserve” program of UNESCO and hosts 49 animals and 56 botanical species found in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The Gantong range is endowed with the same richness of biological diversity and endemism found in the recently proclaimed Mt. Mantalingahan Protected Area, the best recognized biodiversity hot spot in southern Palawan. A study commissioned by Conservation International-Philippines reveals that several endangered species listed by IUCN (The World Conservation Union) are found around the Mantalingahan Range. 1 The mission was composed by Dr. Dario Novellino PhD.

  • 1.1 Brief History of the Municipality Bataraza Is Named After a Locally
    Municipal Comprehensive Land Use Plan, 2009 – 2018 Municipality of Bataraza, Palawan I. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 Brief History of the Municipality Bataraza is named after a locally influential Muslim Chieftain, Datu Bataraza Narrazid who was the father of the town's first mayor, Datu Sapiodin Narrazid. Datu Sapiodin Narrazid was a former mayor of the municipality of Brooke’s Point, the mother municipality of Bataraza. The municipality of Bataraza was created on June 18, 1961 by virtue of Republic Act 3425. However, it officially functioned as an independent municipality on January 1, 1964 and established its seat of municipal government in barangay Tarusan by virtue of a municipal resolution with concurrence from the provincial board. During the term of Mayor Hadjes P. Asgali in 1971, the seat of municipal government was transferred to barangay Marangas which was the official municipal site as stipulated in RA 3425. During that period, big haciendas started various agricultural activities and brought in farm laborers recruited from other parts of the country. Modern agricultural technologies were introduced and the government provided irrigation and post harvest facilities. This increased rice production areas and yield of the municipality which eventually make Bataraza as one of the rice granaries of Southern Palawan. Likewise, the municipality is endowed with large mineral deposits. Rio Tuba Nickel Mining Corporation (RTNMC) is one of the pioneer mining companies that explore and utilize the mineral deposits of the municipality. 1.2 Human Resource 1.2.1 Population Distibution From 2000 to 2007 the population of Bataraza rose from 41,230 to 53,430, indicating a growth rate of 3.69 percent.

  • 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).

  • Botanical Observations from a Threatened Riverine Lowland Forest in Aborlan, Palawan, Philippines
    van Beijnen and Jose: Endemic flora of Aborlan, Palawan Botanical observations from a threatened riverine lowland forest in Aborlan, Palawan, Philippines Jonah van Beijnen1,* and Edgar D. Jose2 1 Fins & Leaves, Oude Bennekomseweg 23, 6706 ER Wageningen, the Netherlands 2 Western Philippines University, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines *Correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT This research provided a general overview of the vegetation structure of the Talakaigan watershed, Aborlan, Palawan, Philippines, with highlights on some ecological aspects of selected flora and intent of providing urgently needed data supporting existing conservation efforts in the area. Observations were carried during regular trekking activities in the watershed and surrounding areas from 2009 to 2016. Photographs were taken to facilitate species identification. Several noteworthy observations are presented, including a new locality for Begonia palawanensis, a short description of several new species of Begonia and notes on a large population of the Critically Endangered Orania paraguanensis, including details on the early life history of these palm. A large number of anthropogenic disturbances were observed in the area, including well-intended forestation and development efforts by the local and provincial government. Since the watershed does not hold any formal protective status, these disturbances pose a serious threat to the future existence of this unique watershed and some of the endemic species it contains. Our findings support the call to declare the entire watershed as an official protected area. Keywords: floral inventory, lowland rainforest, conservation, Southeast Asia, Begonia, Orania. INTRODUCTION Palawan is a large island province in the southwest of the Philippines, northeast of Borneo. Because of the island’s low population density and the fact that its forests contain relatively few valuable hardwood species, it has been spared from massive deforestation that has plagued the rest of the Philippines (Vitug 1993).

  • The Mammals of Palawan Island, Philippines
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON 117(3):271–302. 2004. The mammals of Palawan Island, Philippines Jacob A. Esselstyn, Peter Widmann, and Lawrence R. Heaney (JAE) Palawan Council for Sustainable Development, P.O. Box 45, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines (present address: Natural History Museum, 1345 Jayhawk Blvd., Lawrence, KS 66045, U.S.A.) (PW) Katala Foundation, P.O. Box 390, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines; (LRH) Field Museum of Natural History, 1400 S. Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL 60605 U.S.A. Abstract.—The mammal fauna of Palawan Island, Philippines is here doc- umented to include 58 native species plus four non-native species, with native species in the families Soricidae (2 species), Tupaiidae (1), Pteropodidae (6), Emballonuridae (2), Megadermatidae (1), Rhinolophidae (8), Vespertilionidae (15), Molossidae (2), Cercopithecidae (1), Manidae (1), Sciuridae (4), Muridae (6), Hystricidae (1), Felidae (1), Mustelidae (2), Herpestidae (1), Viverridae (3), and Suidae (1). Eight of these species, all microchiropteran bats, are here reported from Palawan Island for the first time (Rhinolophus arcuatus, R. ma- crotis, Miniopterus australis, M. schreibersi, and M. tristis), and three (Rhin- olophus cf. borneensis, R. creaghi, and Murina cf. tubinaris) are also the first reports from the Philippine Islands. One species previously reported from Pa- lawan (Hipposideros bicolor)isremoved from the list of species based on re- identificaiton as H. ater, and one subspecies (Rhinolophus anderseni aequalis Allen 1922) is placed as a junior synonym of R. acuminatus. Thirteen species (22% of the total, and 54% of the 24 native non-flying species) are endemic to the Palawan faunal region; 12 of these are non-flying species most closely related to species on the Sunda Shelf of Southeast Asia, and only one, the only bat among them (Acerodon leucotis), is most closely related to a species en- demic to the oceanic portion of the Philippines.

  • This Keyword List Contains Pacific Ocean (Excluding Great Barrier Reef)
    CoRIS Place Keyword Thesaurus by Ocean - 3/2/2016 Pacific Ocean (without the Great Barrier Reef) This keyword list contains Pacific Ocean (excluding Great Barrier Reef) place names of coral reefs, islands, bays and other geographic features in a hierarchical structure. The same names are available from “Place Keywords by Country/Territory - Pacific Ocean (without Great Barrier Reef)” but sorted by country and territory name. Each place name is followed by a unique identifier enclosed in parentheses. The identifier is made up of the latitude and longitude in whole degrees of the place location, followed by a four digit number. The number is used to uniquely identify multiple places that are located at the same latitude and longitude. This is a reformatted version of a list that was obtained from ReefBase.
