Message

On behalf of the Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme, it gives me immense pleasure to co-organize this 4th meeting of the World Network of Island and Coastal Biosphere Reserves in the Palawan

Biosphere Reserve in the Philippines, 17-20 June 2014.

My special thanks go to the Mayor of Puerto Princesa, the Palawan Provincial Government, the Palawan Biosphere Reserve, Island of Jeju Biosphere Reserve, Menorca Biosphere Reserve, MAB National Committee of the Republic of Korea, Island Council of Menorca, the UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines and the Spanish Ministry for Agriculture, Food and Environment for all the support that makes this important event happen.

I would like to use this opportunity to thank you all very much for all your efforts in enabling us to be here with you in such an excellent environment that will be a great support in our discussions for the World Network and bring it forward within the framework of the MAB programme.

The MAB programme celebrated last week its 26th International Coordinating Council, which was evaluating its past actions and exploring new directions for its future. Our work here will be a direct continuation of these efforts within a thematic context and thus a direct implementation of the Madrid Action Plan for Biosphere Reserves.

I would like, therefore, to thank again our Philippine hosts, and warmly thank also all participants who have traveled from all over the world to contribute to the success of this 4th meeting of the network.

VIRGINIA A. MIRALAO, Ph.D.Secretary-General

On behalf of the Philippines National Commission for UNESCO, I wish to convey our warmest greetings to all distinguished guests, speakers and participants of the 4th Meeting of the Global Network of Island and

Coastal Biosphere Reserves. We also wish to add our own words of welcome to those of our local hosts, City Mayor Lucilo R. Bayron and Provincial Governor Jose Ch. Alvarez, to make your stay here in Palawan both enjoyable and memorable.

We are humbled and honored that the Philippines has been chosen as host of this important gathering of the Global Network. Our country is home to only two of the 621 Biosphere Reserves located in 117 countries, even as the Philippines ranks among the top five countries in the world most vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change. The Philippines’ vulnerability highlights our country’s need not just for two, but for an increased number of well-managed and functioning Biosphere Reserves if only to help us dissipate the physical destructions and human miseries wrought by natural disasters and calamities.

We therefore welcome the task of the World Network of Island and Coastal Biosphere Reserves to transform BRs into suitable sites for research on climate change and sustainable development, and thereby advance our knowledge and management practices for protecting humanity at large and Planet Earth.

We commend likewise the objective of the World Network to foster international and regional collaboration in BR researches and projects as a means of sharing ideas and innovative solutions to the common problems that we face. We believe that this 4th Global Meeting of the Network will percolate ideas and solutions that will not only help us mitigate climate change impacts but bring us further along the way of improving local livelihoods and uplifting the socioeconomic and environmental conditions of our communities.

We wish you productive discussions in the days ahead, and we thank you again for honoring us with your presence.

Message

The Provincial Government of Palawan expresses its gratefulness to the organizers of the 4th Meeting of the World Network of Island and Coastal Biosphere Reserves, for choosing our beloved Province to host such an

intellectual and important meeting regarding the impact of natural disasters on the island and coastal biosphere reserves.

We are fortunate that our beloved Palawan, with its rich and diverse ecosystem, strategic geographical location, has always been a good provider and protector, to the people who live in and protect it as well. All of the natural resources and blessings that we continuously derive from it are proof of how well we also take care of our ecosystem and come as a result of enforcing strict rules on the use, consumption, and conservation of these natural resources. Because of these, our province continuously provides us with healthy, abundant, and low-cost food supplies, that each and every Palaweño is thankful for.

But nonetheless, calamities do happen, such as what devastated our beloved country during the passing of super typhoon Yolanda, better known internationally as typhoon Haiyan. Even the northern part of our beloved Palawan was not spared. But along with it, we saw and experienced the whole world as one, diverse yet truly united, pulling and exhausting all our efforts to recover from the said calamity.

It is truly wonderful that the Biosphere Reserve Network of UNSECO focuses this year on the impact of natural disasters on the island and coastal biosphere reserves. Tackling the said subject matter could mean a great deal in alleviating and lowering the destructive effects of these unfortunate circumstances. Let our experiences from such events further define biosphere reserves as a living laboratories for sustainable development, highlighting the critical role of humans in combatting climate change and its impacts.

In behalf of the whole province of Palawan, I welcome you all to the last frontier of the Philippines!

Maraming salamat at mabuhay kayong lahat!

Siberut Biosphere Reserve, IndonesiaDeclared in 1981, Siberut is the largest in the chain of four Mentawai Islands situated off the west coast of Sumatra. It has been isolated from the Sumatra mainland and the Sunda shelf for at least 500,000 years, resulting in an exceptionally high degree of endemism. Lowland dipterocarp rain forest is the principal ecosystem. Sixty-five percent of mammals and fifteen percent of fauna on Siberut are endemic at some taxonomic level, making the 190,500 hectare-island, with its limited surface, unique in the world.

19| Príncipe Island Biosphere Reserve, Democratic Republic of São Tomé & PríncipePríncipe Island was nominated as UNESCO Biosphere reserve in 2012. The island, with a land area of 142 sq. kms. and a maximum altitude of 948 meters, is the smaller of the two islands that make up the archipelago and country of the Democratic Republic of São Tomé e Príncipe. Príncipe is essentially an island where subsistence fisheries and agriculture, particularly for local consumption, dominate besides a small tourist development Despite its small size, the island of Príncipe also hosts a wide diversity of natural ecosystems such as primary forest, mangroves, coastal dunes, coconut trees, riparian vegetation, and lowland ecosystems of inland waters, both lentic and lotic. Of the 450 species of flora present on the island of Príncipe, 44 are endemic to the archipelago and of these 24 taxa are endemic to the island of Príncipe. Recent data collection and research work conducted by the California Academy of Sciences (CAS) suggests that the vast and rich biodiversity of the island still has many secrets to be discovered.

Menorca Biosphere Reserve, SpainThe main characteristic of the Menorca Biosphere Reserve is the diversity characteristic of nearly all Mediterranean island ecosystems. The most notable habitats are the gullies, caves, wetlands made up of ponds, lagoons and marshes, dune systems, coasts and islets. Some 220 species of birds, and 1,000 species of plants (60 of which are endemic) have been recorded. One of the most important landscape features of the Biosphere Reserve is the number of gullies that cross it in the direction of the south coast, which offer spectacular landscapes and have an abundant and varied flora and fauna. Also important are the nesting sites of birds of prey and aquatic birds nesting close to small permanent or seasonal water sources. Menorca has many natural land caves and underwater caves, situated in the north and south of the island. The coastal wetlands include Albufera de Es Grau ( a Natural Park and the core area of the Biosphere Reserve), as well as Addaia, Son Saura and Son Bou. As in many parts in Europe, the ‘whole island’ biosphere reserve of Menorca has become a patchy mosaic of landscapes as a result of centuries of human-induced fragmentation. The biosphere reserve constitutes a rich historical and cultural legacy, expressed in numerous settlements and prehistoric monuments.The zonation was changed in 2004 and the original core area expanded to increase a marine zone.
