Conservation education encompasses all activities of the Katala Foundation. We hope these efforts motivate the stakeholders and the general public and in particular our local partners to possess that sense of pride and responsibility to protect biodiversity in general. Afterall, we all share the earth to live!

Description:

The first part of this book describes the results of the KFI’s Katala Quest expedition in Northern Palawan, Philippines. The quest won Silver Award from the British Petroleum (BP) Conservation Programme in 2003. The second part is a compilation of conservation studies and researches conducted in Palawan by KFI or in cooperation with KFI and local partners.

It is the intent of this publication to make available the findings of these researches to a wider audience to create awareness for and, if possible, to inspire more conservation projects for Palawan’s rich flora and fauna.
