Protect Wildlife (Philippines)

Protect Wildlife is a five-year project to

support the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources’ biodiversity
conservation efforts by cutting illegal wildlife
trade in the Philippines.

Project Sites

The project launched last March 2017 will

be piloted in Palawan, including the
Tubbataha reef and the Mt. Mantalingajan
range, and the Sulu archipelago, including
Zamboanga and Tawi-Tawi.
The exposure of these provinces to various
human-induced threats such as poaching
and trafficking of wildlife due to weak law
enforcement and accessibility as transport
route, destructive fishing practices, and loss
of habitats from widespread conversion of
forests, wetlands, and mangroves to
settlements and agricultural lands were the
primary reasons for the selection of the
project sites.
The United States Agency for International
Development (USAID) provided P1.2-billion
fund for the multi-pronged program working
to conserve biodiversity, protection of
wildlife, and sustaining ecosystem services
to improve the livelihoods and long-term
well-being of the Filipino people.
Conservation International Philippines is the
implementing partner of the project which
works in close consultation with the DENR-
thru the Biodiversity Management Bureau
and local community members to inform
regional development plans and national
policies through scientific research, while
promoting community-based conservation
stewardship

Law Enforcement Reporting
Tool or WildALERT

WildALERT is an Online
System aimed to help wildlife
law enforcement officers
prevent and minimize illegal
wildlife trade in the Philippines
using mobile phones. The
system is composed of a
mobile application used to
report wildlife crime and a
website that receives the
report and endorses to the
appropriate law enforcement
office nearest to the location
as automatically determined
by the system.

The initial intended users of

the system are law
enforcement officers, but
future versions will allow
public to use it since it also
have educational purpose
specifically in species
identification through citizen
science.

WildAlert was developed thru

the

WildAlert App, launched

during the World Wildlife Day
on March 3, 2020 was a
pioneering technology
developed under the USAID’s
flagship Wildlife Protect
Project.
