Schizostachyum lima
in Bocaue, Bulacan
 Schizostachyum lima
⊷ Versatile
⊷ Durable
⊷ Great substitute for other
synthetic building materials

2
 “ Bamboos, like trees,
absorbs CO2 and releases
35% more oxygen relative to
trees.

 Valuable to
businesses,
humans and to
the environment

4
 Climate Change + Over Consumption = Probable Extinction

5
 Main Objective:
⊷ To find out if there are still
enough bamboo for industrial
consumption

6
 Use of the results:
⊷ Regulation of the population
of S. lima
⊷ Provision of information to
prevent over-usage and
consumption of the species

7
 Identification Guide
⊷ To identify if the bamboo
species we counted is under
the species of
Schizustachyum lima, we
considered its external
features

As the researchers,
We, therefore, conclude that
the population of the
species of Schizostachyum
lima are neither too few nor
too many
 Other uses of the
species are yet to
be discovered…
