Book excerpt: The Palawan Biosphere Reserve, created in 1991, includes the entire Province of Palawan, in the Philippines, covering around 14 000 sq. km. and populated by nearly 750 000 people. The Province has a unique and diverse fauna and flora and is known as the country's ± last ecological frontier [??]. However, agriculture, fishing, mineral extraction and offshore oil and natural gas, as well as tourism, threaten the environment. In 1992, a Strategic Environmental Plan for Palawan (SEP) was adopted and through it an Environmentally Critical Areas Network (ECAN) is being implemented. The implementation of the Strategic Environmental Plan for Palawan and the Environmentally Critical Areas Network are besieged with constraints ranging from incapability of implementors to sheer lack of concern among the majority of the local communities, because of a lack of livelihood opportunities that would prevent the communities from putting more pressure on their forest, land and marine resources.

Book excerpt: The Tanjung Puting National Park and Biosphere Reserve (TPNP-BR) is a natural wonder that lies on the promontory of the southern coast of Kalimantan, within the administrative province of Kalimantan Tengah (Central Kalimantan). The park covers a total area of 300 040 hectares. It was declared as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Programme in 1981 and as a National Park in 1982. It encompasses a large spectrum of ecosystems including several distinct forest formation such as swamp forests and tropical lowland rain forests. It is also a home for species of fauna including over 220 known species of birds with 5 endemic to Borneo, 9 species of primates with 1 great ape, the orang-utan, and 2 endemic species ; 28 species of large mammals, and a wide range of reptiles, amphibians and fish. Since 1980, it also plays a role as one of the orang-utan rehabilitation centres. This paper describes the present condition of the TPNP-BR including some management problems and threats and some action plans for the near future.

Download or read book The Power of Parasites written by Dalia Iskander and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes how malaria both frustrates and facilitates life for Indigenous Pälawan communities living in the forested foothills of the municipality of Bataraza on the island of Palawan in the Philippines. Tracing the arc of malaria on the archipelago from colonial encounters to the present day, it examines the ways in which malaria parasites have become entangled in contemporary lives. It uniquely explores the experiences of local government leaders working towards sustainably developing this last ecological frontier, health workers trying to meet international targets to eliminate malaria, and Pälawan people trying to keep their bodies, social relations and the cosmos in careful balance. In exquisite detail, Dr Dalia Iskander shows how malaria emerged from, and was intrinsic to, a whole host of strategically-orientated social practices that were enacted in as well as around the disease’s name, as people worked day-to-day to gain power in different guises in different arenas.
