Conservation Needs Assessment – Physical Profile

Mindoro Island is considered as one of the top priority conservation areas both locally and internationally, requiring the need for immediate conservation interventions to protect and preserve the islands’ remaining habitats and important wildlife. The Mindoro Biodiversity Conservation Foundation, Inc. (MBCFI) was established to address the long-term conservation of Mindoro’s endemic wildlife and their natural habitats for the benefit of future generations of all peoples through its mandate to develop integrated biodiversity conservation and development programs, which include improved dissemination of knowledge, management practices and the active participation and collaboration of relevant stakeholders.

The conservation needs assessment of Mindoro Island was proposed to aid in decision-making and developing conservation interventions. This report focuses on the mapping and physical aspect of the conservation needs assessment.
