Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species

of Wild Animals

FORMAT FOR NATIONAL REPORT OF PARTIES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION

OF THE CONVENTION ON THE CONSERVATION OF MIGRATORY

SPECIES OF WILD ANIMALS

Reporting format agreed by the Standing Committee at its 32nd

Meeting (Bonn, November

2007) for mandatory use by Parties, for reports submitted to the Tenth Meeting of the

Conference of the Parties (COP10) (Norway, 2011).

The questions below combine elements of Resolution 4.1 (Party Reports) adopted by the Fourth

Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (Nairobi, June 1994) and Resolution 6.4 (Strategic Plan for

the Convention on Migratory Species 2000-2005), adopted by the Sixth Meeting of the Conference of

the Parties (Cape Town, November 1999), the COP8 Strategic Plan 2006-2011 and Resolution 8.24

adopted by the Conference of the Parties (Nairobi 2005), as well as commitments arising from other

operational Resolutions and Recommendations of the Conference of the Parties.

COP Resolution 9.4 adopted at Rome called upon the Secretariats and Parties of CMS Agreements

to collaborate in the implementation and harmonization of online reporting implementation. If the

development of an online reporting system advances sufficiently, Parties may have the option of

reporting in this manner. There are however no guarantees at this stage that this will be the case.

Parties are encouraged to respond to all questions. Parties are also requested to provide comprehensive

answers, including, where appropriate, a summary of activities, information on factors limiting action

and details of any assistance required.

government departments:

These agencies participate/collaborates in reporting species by-catch and strandings (especially marine species)

and also on law enforcement.

3 Has a national liaison system or committee been established in your country? Please provide contact information

Yes x No

Although there is no existing committee, DENR has jurisdiction over marine turtles and dugong among

marine wildlife. This is based on Wildlife Act of 2001 (RA 9147) . Within the DENR system, PAWB

(through the Pawikan Conservation Project) at the national level and the Protected Areas Wildlife Divisions

at the regional level are the main offices responsible for policy recommesndation and in implementation of

policies. However, this year, a technical/advisory committee on marine turtles and dugongs is planned to be

established. The distribution of marine turtles and dugong in the Philippines makes a national liaison

system necessary

4 List the main non-governmental organizations actively involved in activities/initiatives for the conservation of

migratory species in your country, and describe their involvement:

Conservation International Philippines (CI-P) – collaborates with government agencies, local governments and

enforcement agencies on conservation and protection of marine species and dugong in their focal areas.

WWF Philippines – same as CI-P; conducts research on the local population of the Irrawaddy dolphin

CERD (Center for Empowerment and Resource Development) – collaborates with the DENR particularly in

Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur on dugong and marine turtle conservation activities

SIKAT (Sentro sa Ikauunlad ng Katutubong Agham at Teknolohiya) – collaborates with the DENR on marine

turtles conservation activities particularly in the province of Romblon

Bantay Pawikan, Inc. - collaborates with DENR on marine turtle conservation activities particularly in Morong,

Bataan

PRRM (Philippine Rural Reconstruction Movement-Bataan Chapter) – collaborates with DENR on marine turtle

conservation activities particularly in Morong, Bataan

advocacy campaigns. Assists in the monitoring of migratory birds Promotes ecotourism in identified migratory

bird habitats

4a Please provide detail on any devolved government/overseas territory authorities involved.


5 Describe any involvement of the private sector in the conservation of migratory species in your country:

Through Memorandum of Agreements, private sectors are also involved in conservation of migratory species in

specific areas.

The Land Bank of the Philippines provides financial support for the maintenance of the Las Pinas-Paranaque

Critical Habitat located on the Manila side of Manila Bay. This is sn important site for migratory waterbirds

6 Note any interactions between these sectors in the conservation of migratory species in your country:


I(b). Information about involved Authorities

1 Birds DENR through PAWB

2 Marine Mammals (Dugong) DENR through PAWB

3 Marine Turtles DENR through PAWB

4 Terrestrial Mammals

5 Bats

6 Other Taxa


II. Appendix I species

1. BIRDS

1.1 General questions on Appendix I bird species

1 Is the taking of all Appendix I bird species prohibited by the national implementing x Yes No

legislation cited in Table I(a) (General Information)?

If other legislation is relevant, please provide details:

1a If the taking of Appendix I bird species is prohibited by law, have any exceptions Yes x No

been granted to the prohibition?

If Yes, please provide details (Include the date on which the exception was notified

to the CMS Secretariat pursuant to CMS Article III(7):

2 Identify any obstacles to migration that exist in relation to Appendix I bird species:

By-catch x Electrocution

Habitat destruction x Wind turbines

Pollution

Other (please provide details)

2a What actions are being undertaken to overcome these obstacles?

The tufted duck (Aythya fuligula) is a by-catch in lake fishery where they are caught in gill nets for fish.

Dialogues with fisherfolks have been conducted to minimize if not eradicate the problem. Marine turtles have

been the target of foreign fishing vessels. Their fishing boats are confiscated when apprehended. Dugong by

catch is more problematic because of the involvement of poor fisherolks

2b Please report on the progress / success of the actions taken.

Some progress is being attained as reported above.

2c What assistance, if any, does your country require in order to overcome these obstacles?

Gentle pressure on the government not to implement or to discontinue projects that would have a negative

impact on migratory species.

3 What are the major threats to Appendix I bird species (transcending mere obstacles to migration)?

Illegal trade Poaching

Other (please specify)

3a What actions have been taken to prevent, reduce or control factors that are endangering or are likely to further

endanger bird species beyond actions to prevent disruption to migrating behaviour?

Appendix I birds are mainly threatened by obstacles to migration

2. MARINE MAMMALS

2.1 General questions on Appendix I marine mammals (the answers refer both to marine

mammals in general and the dugong in particular)

1 Is the taking of all Appendix I marine mammals prohibited by the national xYes No

implementing legislation cited in Table I(a) (General Information)?


1a If the taking of Appendix I marine mammals is prohibited by law, have any exceptions Yes x No



to the CMS Secretariat pursuant to CMS Article III(7)):

2 Identify any obstacles to migration that exist in relation to Appendix I marine mammals:

By-catch x Collision with fishing traffic

Pollution Illegal hunting x

Other threats to migration (please provide details)

2a

What actions are being undertaken to overcome these obstacles?

For illegal hunting, filing case against the hunters but because most of the dugong by-catch are caused by fish

corrals, the trapped dugong do not die and are released, unless the animal is killed by the fish corral owner or

keeper.


At present, only very few cases have been filed in court, the perpetrators have not been identified in most of the

incidents.


The Philippines has submitted a proposal to UNEP/CMS-MOU Secretariat based in Abu Dhabi, UAE for funding

regarding the use of standardized survey questionnaire in one of the important areas in the country. Part of the

proposal is the conduct of information campaign to enhance the awareness of the need to conserve and protect the

species. This activity will be focused in the southern part of Mindanao.

3 What are the major pressures on Appendix I marine mammal species (transcending mere obstacles to migration)?

Pollution By-catch x



endanger species of marine mammal beyond actions to prevent disruption to migrating behaviour?

3 MARINE TURTLES

3.1 General questions on Appendix I marine turtles

1 Is the taking of all Appendix I marine turtles prohibited by the national implementing xYes No



1a If the taking of Appendix I marine turtles is prohibited by law, have any exceptions Yes x No




2 Identify any obstacles to migration that exist in relation to Appendix I marine turtles:

By-catch x Pollution x

Other threats to migration (please provide details) direct capture by foreign fishers


Most of the marine turtle by-catch are in fish corrals, the turtles do not usually die unless the owner or keeper

kills the animal. Cases were filed in court against persons responsible for taking or killing turtles, particularly in

Palawan. Manila Bay is the area where most of the stranded turtles die. The cause of deaths were most probably

pollution. The cleaning of Manila Bay including its tributaries have been a concern of the national government,

local government units and the private sector. A national plan of action has been finalized and a number of

regular activities have been going on. The Balabac Srait and Turtle Islands Heritage Protected Area (TIHPA) are

the two areas where foreign poachers were usually caught. A Philippine plan of action covering the two areas

was drafted by concerned agencies and NGOs in 2009. Philippine-Malaysia plan of action covering Balabac Srait

and TIHPA was also drafted in 2009. This was discussed in the 7th

Philippine-Malaysia Joint Commission

Meeting held on 14-15 April 2011. This issue has also been discussed in the (Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines)

Sulu-Sulawesi Marine Ecoregion meetings.


A workshop on regional cooperation to address direct capture of sea turtles was held in 2009. The participants

were: representatives from China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, SEAFDEC, and IOSEA Marine Turtle

Secretariat. The main agenda item was information sharing and the workshop resulted to a visit by a regional

team to Hainan, China to discuss the issue with Chinese officials.

Enforcement activities were strengthened in Balabac Straits and in Baguan Island (one of the islands of the

Turtle Islands)


To encourage the Chinese and Vietnamese governments to pressure their fisherfolks to refrain from capturing

marine turtles

3 What are the major pressures on Appendix I marine turtles (transcending mere obstacles to migration)?

Collection of eggs x Predation of eggs

Destruction of nesting beaches x



endanger species of marine turtles beyond actions to prevent disruption to migrating behaviour?

A series of consultations were held in Turtle Islands and alternative livelihood options were identified to stop

marine turtle egg collection. Ecotourism was one of the identified livelihood options is in the process of being

developed in the area.
