Mission and goals

The Katala Foundation (KF) implements the Philippine Cockatoo Conservation Program in the Philippines with target sites in Palawan, the stronghold of the species. KF uses the Katala or the Philippine cockatoo as its flagship species but employs an ecosystemic and participatory approach for conservation where people are given important roles in the entirety of the program implementation.

The Philippine Cockatoo Conservation Program (PCCP) implements nest protection, livelihood, habitat protection and restoration and conservation education mostly in Palawan and in Polillo Island. We conduct distribution surveys in areas with historical cockatoo records where surviving populations are to be expected. And we also conduct habitat assessments for possible translocation of cockatoos.
