PHILIPPINE BIODIVERSITY SITUATION

AND CONSERVATION PRIORITIES

                                                                  

This website was created consistent with the program of action of the  Biodiversity Advocacy and Capability Building Program under the leadership of the Biodiversity Working Group of  University of the Philippines Baguio. One of the intentions is to make the content of the book cited below within the reach of all biodiversity conservation advocates throughout the Philippines and the world. Other materials will be available in this website or, at least, this website will be linked to other basic materials and documents on the Philippine biodiversity situation and conservation priorities.
