We develop innovative biodiversity approaches and nature-positive solutions to Make Conservation Work

What We Do

Beyond outdated approaches, CCIPH champions effective and insightful conservation strategies. Weaving together the power of science with the heart of community involvement, we develop sustainable solutions with real-world impact. Guided by our four foundational pillars, our mandate is built on innovation and inclusivity.

INNOVATE

The world is continuously changing. And this inevitable nature calls for innovations that are tailor-fitted with contemporary biodiversity and conservation challenges.

EMPOWER

Our meaningful experience in working with the grassroot community is a testament of the efficacy of the participatory approach in contributing to conservation success.

PROTECT

It is undeniable that biodiversity is one of the critical building blocks of an ecosystem; therefore, its protection is a priority.

SUSTAIN

Biodiversity conservation and protection initiatives leading to change are basically geared towards the state of sustainability.

We have developed foundational frameworks that will revolutionize conservation work in the country. These include:

 

  • The LAWIN Forest and Biodiversity Protection System of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, which eliminates the manual process of encoding field data by using mobile applications
  • The Sukat ng Kalikasan (Nature Metrics) Framework and Toolkit of the Philippines using the High Conservation Value Areas – Natural Capital Accounting (HCVA-NCA) Frameworks
  • Green Assessment and Green Recovery Plan (GA-GRP) Framework – a biodiversity and ecosystem-based, post-disaster assessment that will inform rehabilitation, restoration, and recovery to help achieve resilience
  • Enhanced (and electronic) Biodiversity Assessment and Monitoring Systems – using technology solutions to streamline biodiversity monitoring and improve Protected and Conserved Areas domain awareness.
