The five-year USAID-funded Protect Wildlife project was formally launched in early March 2017 at Sequoia Hotel in Quezon City. Environment Secretary Regina Lopez, Senator Cynthia Villar and project partners from various sectors attended the launch. U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Kim delivered the keynote address.
Protect Wildlife seeks to encourage private and public sector involvement in biodiversity conservation and conservation financing; and to elevate the conservation competencies of LGUs and CSOs and strengthen their engagement in the formulation and execution of local development plans. For Year 1, the project’s focus of interventions will be Palawan, including Tubbataha reef and the Mt. Mantalingahan range, and the Sulu archipelago, including Zamboanga and Tawi-Tawi.
