In 2005, WWF-Philippines started to monitor its process and results standards to transform current management practice from adhoc to programmatic management of ﬁeld projects. These standards were constituted into a program life cycle (PLC). The cycle is divided into 6 phases – entry, baseline studies, plan development, capacity-building, mainstreaming/stabilization and phase-out. The PLC depicts a multi-player arrangement and the phased approach to conservation. It is possible that a project is designed to work within a phase or to advance from one phase to the next.

Fish biomass in the park reached 210 metric tons per square kilometer, a level not seen since the days befored the devastating El Niño event of 1998. The Environmental Users' Fee was finally implemented in Puerto Galera, ensuring a continuing source of funds for coastal resource management in the years to come.

Conservation and the Human Footprint - these are the two meta-goals around which WWF's global program is built. As essential and complementary components of sustainable development, addressing one, without the other, only results in a string of unaddressed needs that tend to skew development away from dynamic balance. The last 12 months have been a watershed year for WWF, here in the Philippines, in the process leading to the attainment of these parallel concerns.
