This is a presentation on the phenomenon of Climate Change and its effects on Biodiversity.

Seeing whales and other marine wildlife in their natural environment can be a thrilling experience. In our excitement, we sometimes forget that our presence has an effect on wildlife and their habitat. Just like us, marine animals need space to find food, choose mates, raise young, socialize and rest.

This manual offers information on biodiversity monitoring to enable you to carry out your work using the Biodiversity Monitoring System as prescribed in the DENR Administrative Order shown on the back cover.

Objectives - Hydrology Determine the hydrologic balance of the river basin Identify flood risk zones Undertake flood analysis and identify or determine possible mitigation measures

The Philippines has over 78 different kinds of bats, majority of which are found nowhere else in the world - These include 25 fruit bats and 53 species of insectivorous bats. They dwell in the forest and caves and are primarily nocturnal species.

This case study on Anilao is the fourth in a series of analyses being undertaken by WWF-Philippines. This series aims to communicate key issues and lessons from field projects to fellow practitioners, program and policy staff, personnel of managed and/or protected areas, partners, and donors. This fourth case related the establishment of conservation fees paid by scuba-divers in Mabini and Tingloy, Batangas, and the issues and challenges in the face of financial success.

This Research Compendium on Mining Areas and Volcanic Debris-laden Areas has been developed to serve as a sound and thorough basis for selection of appropriate, effective and efficient strategies for the restoration of damaged mining and volcanic ash-laden areas of the country.

This compendium is ERDB’s attempt to provide a selection of appropriate upland rehabilitation strategies for ERDB regional counterparts and other interested agencies/entities. May this compendium serve as reference guidebook in promoting the restoration of degraded upland areas.

This compendium was developed from compiled research information, current technologies and personal experiences by various scientists and watershed managers on successful rehabilitation measures employed in damaged, critical and marginal watershed areas. Specifically, this handbook provides the reader a better outlook and understanding of the biological and physical components of a damaged ecosystem and how to rebuild its various interrelated components based on ecological strategies.

It is envisioned that the application of the technologies presented in this compendium will be instrumental in the recovery and management of the damaged urban ecosystem for the provision of a safe and productive environmental life for urban people.

This compendium hopes to provide insights and guidelines on successful rehabilitation based from updated research information and technologies gathered on a national scale, organized and synthesized by the Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau.

The Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau came up with this Handbook on Cave Classification for the Philippines with the end in view of providing necessary information that can guide the field offices in the development of specific cave management and conservation programs.

The publication of Statistics on Protected Areas and Wildlife Resources is a continuing activity of the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau in order to provide timely and accurate statistical information on protected areas and wildlife resources essential to planning, policy formulation and decision-making. It represents basic and updated information provided by the DENR Field Offices and other operating units of the Bureau.
