Project Title: Diversity And Assessment Of Fauna In Mt. Agad-Agad, Lanao Del Norte
Project No.: Q-002
Scientific Division: V - Biological Sciences
Project Leader:
Maria Melanie Pava Medecilo-Guiang
Implementing Agency: Central Mindanao University
Project Description:
This proposal will use the collaborative, participatory, multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder and landscape approach to encompass the terrestrial ecosystems in Mt. Agad-agad, Lanao del Norte. To implement this program, the Center for Biodiversity Research and Extension in Mindanao (CEBREM) has been designated as the Mindanao Biodiversity Hub while other HEI’s are spokes.
This project has chosen Mt. Agad-agad, Lanao del Norte focusing on biodiversity of the flora and fauna to elucidate the interconnectivity of the different ecosystems. The fauna component, as detailed herin will encompass the vertebrate fauna (birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians) and invertebrates (insect, arthropods, etc.) Moreover, the forest conservation and management, stakeholder’s roles, policies and needs will be assessed for sustainable development. High fauna biodiversity sites will be identified for possible ecotourism destinations.
This project will fill gaps in the biodiversity management frameworks steered by Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) through studying the ecosystems in a landscape approach, which will involve the biodiversity and forest condition assessments. Interrelated data will be obtained which will serve as bases for policy-making bodies in formulating policies relevant to biodiversity conservation and to explain the interconnectivity of ecosystems. Likewise, capacitating stakeholders will ensure sustainability and will be a great step in monitoring and conserving the remaining threatened, endemic, economic/iconic species and their habitats.
Outputs of this research project are useful to conservationists, local government units, academic institutions, indigenous cultural communities and policy-making bodies for legal promulgations and sustainable ecotourism, creating cool micro-temperatures, protection and conservation of important biological resources, capacitate stakeholders for long-term and sustainable research and development (R&D) activities.
Apart from publications and the other 5 Ps project outputs, the output will be utilized in revising existing National/Regional R&D Programs for ANR by DOST/PCAARRD/DA/DENR, outdated forests/environmental plans or designing new ones that are realistically site-specific.
