Conserving, protecting and
Managing wetlands
2. Social impact : a. livelihood/employment
: b. Appreciation importance of
Wetlands backing up tourism
3. Economic impact : Fees from Local tourists that may
accrue to BLGU and MLGU
budget

II. Rationale

The wetlands ecosystems have a significant use that may provide indispensable
services needed for survival and development. Wetlands as well are very necessary in
ecosystems due to their vital ecological value, locally and internationally. This was
underscored during the series of consultation among the different stakeholders for upper
and lower magat dam ecosystems participated by MLGU, DENR, NIA, SN Aboitiz,
Academe and rural folks representatives in the preparation of the Magat Wetlands
Management Plan. During the course of discussion as to the preparation of wetlands
management plan, concerns and issues propped up relative to factors that may pilfer the
sustainability of magat wetlands. One of the factors that may degrade the ecosystem of
the wetlands include land uses like settlements, agriculture and quarrying within the
vicinity that necessitate concerted effort to mitigate adverse effect towards wetlands. The
august body then agreed to reflects such concerns and challenges on the management
action plan apportioned to the different line agencies, local government units and
Academe that may hopefully be implemented within the span of 7- year (2019-2025)
magat wetland management plan. The Ifugao State University Potia Campus recognizes
the importance of conducting resources inventory for a complete documentation of
biodiversity as to flora and fauna in support to the RAMSAR enrolment process as
reflected in number 20 of the wetland management action plan. The document as to the
assessment of the wetland will be a vital base line information for appropriate action in
enhancing the wetlands ecosystem. It is for this reason, this proposal is prepared for
possible consideration of higher authority or by the Biodiversity Management Bureau
(BMB) funding.

III. Project objectives

The general objective of the project is to as to conduct biodiversity assessment at

the Magat Wetland areas.
Specifically, the project aims to:
1. Document flora and fauna;
 2. Know its status category: critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable and
threatened species and
3. Come up with recommendations for a doable project to bolster healthy ecosystem
of Magat wetland

IV. Project Description

a. The site
The area proposed for the wetlands biodiversity assessment and inventory
include the section of the lower and upper magat wetlands as part of Ifugao( barangay
Halag, Santo Domingo and Namillangan) on the north west side , southern portion are
part of Nueva Vizcaya(Diadi) and eastern part is Isabela(Ramon and Cordon). The
digitized map will show the extent wherte the assessment shall be conducted for this
purpose.

b. Our partners
The wetlands biodiversity assessment and inventory shall be a collaborative
activity and shall be be coordinated with support agencies like DENR selected personnel,
people’s organization to include fisher folks, the barangay local government units and
Municipal Government Units selected staff who may provide technical assistance as well
as mobilization of inventory guide during the actual assessment of the wetland
biodiversity.

c. Technical aspect
The IFSU shall spearhead the wetlands biodiversity assessment and inventory in
coordination with concern DENR office for the activity especially the flora and fauna
inventory. The BMB technical bulletin number 3 shall be our guiding document as to the
assessment to insure all baseline data are captured and part of the report.

d. The report
The document shall be submitted to the support agency within the prescribed
timeline so as to provide information in support to the RAMSAR enrollment of the Magat
wetland areas. The information contained in the wetland biodiversity assessment may as
well provide suggestions and recommendations that may further enhance the ecosystems
services of the wetland areas to include enrichment project using indigenous fruit bearing
trees that will draw species of fowls/birds and bats within the wetlands in the near future.
