INTRODUCTION
Republic Act no. 9147 of the Philippine is entitled “Wildlife Resources
Conservation and Protection Act” and it is the policy of the State to conserve the
country’s wildlife resources and their habitats for sustainability. It is crafted and
passed by the Congress of the Philippines and approved by the President of the
Philippines to conserve and Protect wildlife species and their habitats to promote
ecological balance and enhance biological diversity, to regulate the collection and
trade of Wildlife, to pursue the Philippine commitment to International conventions,
protection of wildlife and their habitats, and to initiate and support scientific studies,
on the Conservation of biological diversity.
The Philippine Wildlife has a significant number of plant and animal species
that are indigenous in the Philippines. The country's surrounding waters reportedly
have the highest level of biodiversity in the world. The Philippines is considered as
one of the seventeen mega diverse countries as well as global biodiversity hotspot.
The world's second largest archipelago country after Indonesia, the Philippines
includes more than 7,100 islands covering 297,179 km2 in the westernmost Pacific
Ocean. The country is one of the few nations that, in its entirety, both a hotspot and
a mega diversity country, placing it among the top priority hot-spots for global
conservation. But deprivation of the forests due to illegal logging, slash-and-burn
farming, and urbanization is stripping the Philippine animals of their natural habitats
and sanctuaries. Hundreds of years ago, most of the Philippine islands were covered
in rain forest. Deforestation, hunting, and a lack of wildlife management has led to
the Philippines being described as conservation “hotspot”. Fewer natural wildlife
habitat areas remain each year. Moreover, the habitat that remains has often been
degraded to the wild areas which existed in the past.
The country’s wildlife is listed as endangered, critically endangered or facing
extinction. Fragile as they are, these wonderful creatures need support in the
conservation effort for the environment to ensure that they will co-exist with us
humans. Wildlife conservation efforts are aimed in several main areas. These
include the creation of nature sanctuaries where wildlife can live protected and free

SAN MIGUEL CAMPUS
from harm, and where scientific studies can be conducted to better understand the
threats to various species and what solutions are needed to ensure their survival.
Researchers conducted this research about RA 9147 Philippine wildlife
Conservation Act, because we want to spread awareness of the Wild species, wild
animals to the Community particular in Carromata to protect them and ensure that
nature will be around for future generations to enjoy and to recognize the importance
of wildlife and wilderness lands to humans and to Community. Many government
agencies are dedicated to wildlife conservation, which help to implement policies
designed for wildlife protection. There are also numerous independent non-
governmental organizations who also promote various wildlife protection causes.
Researchers are also concerned because wildlife conservation has become an
increasingly important practice due to negative human activities on wildlife. Why
wildlife conservation is important? Aside from the fact losing the beauty of our
country, Philippines, and destroying different creatures, it is important in order to
preserve the diversity of biological life upon our country.

SAN MIGUEL CAMPUS
Objectives
This study aims to obtain the following;
1. To conserve and protect wildlife species and their habitats to promote ecological
balance and enhance biological diversity in community
2. To regulate the collection and trade of wildlife; Illegal activities and to aware the
Community in Carromata, regarding this Republic Act.
3. To evaluate, the awareness of the Community regarding of the Law RA 9147
also known as “Wildlife Conservation Act”.
4. To gather information and Data from people of Community especially the
Indigenous peoples to know the current situations of Wildlife species, Critically
endangered and endangered species in the Barangay.
Statement of the Problem

This paper seeks to evaluate the Assessment of Implantation and Community
awareness of RA 9147 (Wildlife conservation Act) in Barangay Carromata, San
Miguel Surigao Del Sur. Philippines which is one of the world’s most biologically
diverse areas has been described by some conservationists as being on the edge of
a major wildlife crisis. However, this biodiversity is under threat. Islands once
covered in undisturbed forest habitat are now under cultivation to feed the demands
of the expanding population
This study shall expound on the effectiveness of wildlife conservation, its
significance, and the importance of wildlife in our ecosystem. In these aspects, the
researcher seeks to establish an answer to the following questions:
1. Why is it important to conserve and protect wildlife in the Community?
2. How effective does the organizations in protecting wildlife?
3. What efforts of the people of Barangay Carromata being taken to protect wildlife in
Community?
4. Is the Community Aware of RA 9147, wildlife Conservation Act?
5. What is the Situation of the wildlife in Community and possible issues, problems of
their rapid extinction?

SAN MIGUEL CAMPUS
Hypothesis and Assumptions

The efforts exerted by the Department of Environment and Energy Resources-
Protected Areas Wildlife Bureau are effective in protecting and conserving the
country’s wildlife.
The study rests on the following assumptions:
1. Protecting wildlife is important to maintain ecological 'balance of nature' and for
economic value.
2. Conservation of wildlife is one of the projects that our nation works out. The
conservation helps to balance the ecosystem in biodiversity. The efforts that exerted
in the organizations tend to facilitate the extinction.
3. Much of the environmental protection that exists today is the direct result of the
petitions and other activities of environmental organizations.
4. The efforts exerted by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources are
sufficient to protect the wildlife.
Scope and Delimitation of the Study

The coverage of this study is about the conservation and protection of
Philippine wildlife that is being lately mishandled or misused by humans due to
negative activities. The study consists of advantage that is being taken to protect or
conserve the endangered wildlife in the Philippines. This study is mainly focused on
the awareness of the Community that are being taken to protect the Philippine
wildlife. The study does not cover the climate change and sustainable uses of
resources. The study will include the DENR’s ways to protect Philippine wildlife and
how they work. It is focused on the study of Awareness of Community about wildlife
wherein they care and conserve Philippine wildlife for future generations.

SAN MIGUEL CAMPUS
Significance or Importance of the study

At the conclusion of this study, the researchers aim to identify the threatened
species and the awareness of Community to the Philippine wildlife. This study is
important for the researchers to be more knowledgeable about the Awareness of the
Community to the RA 9147 or Philippine Wildlife Conservation Act. and to know the
effectiveness of the efforts of the DENR in protecting the wildlife. It may also
persuade some law Enforcers to specify part of their service such as implementing
more laws to protect the Philippine Wildlife.
This research informs the general public about the Community’s wildlife and
help them realize that it is important to conserve our environment. In general,
researchers conducted this study for the benefit of the future generation, because
the preserved wildlife has a big contribution to people’s lives.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

SAN MIGUEL CAMPUS
This chapter presents various foreign and local materials associated with the
subject of this research. These materials aid in the comprehension and analysis of
the Effectiveness of Efforts that being taken to protect the Wildlife in the Philippines.
State of the Art The literature and studies that were reviewed were found to have
bearing on the present study. They served as bases for the conceptualization the
study’s research problem, research design and research methodology.
Local Literature
Roberto V. Oliva, a Forest Law Enforcement Specialist, stated that the
Philippines is one of the 17 mega diverse countries in the world in his book entitled,
PHILIPPINE FOREST AND WILDLIFE LAW ENFORCEMENT: Situational and Core
Issues. In this book, Oliva describe that the number of species in a country is one
measure of biodiversity. The Philippines has 204 species of mammals, of which 54%
or 111 species are found nowhere else; 101 species of amphibians, 78% of which is
endemic; 258 species of reptiles with 66% endemism; and 576 species of birds with
34% or 195 endemic species. On wild flora, the country has about 14,000 species
representing five percent of the world’s flora. These include more than 8,000 species
of flowering plants or angiosperms, 33 species of gymnosperms, 1,100 species of
pteridophytes, and 1,271 species of bryophytes.
According to Oliva, there are many more species that remain unknown to
science. Per hectare, the Philippines probably holds more diversity of life than any
other country on Earth. He explained that because of the remarkable diversity in
Philippine biological resources, the country is considered as one of the 18 mega
diversity countries in the world. Unfortunately, with the loss of the country’s forest
cover, the habitat of wild fauna has likewise been lost. In his piece of writing he
stated that habitat destruction can be attributed to logging, both legal and illegal,
mining and energy projects, land use conversion, kaingin, pest and diseases. While
habitat destruction is considered as the reason for wildlife loss, other factors include
weak institutional and legal mechanisms, domestication and hybridization,
introduction of exotic species, and over-exploitation for food and trade. In line with
this situation, Oliva also discussed in his book that the government is the responsible
for terrestrial and wildlife protection.

SAN MIGUEL CAMPUS
The government implemented the REPUBLIC ACT NO. 9147, the Wildlife
Resources Conservation and Protection Act. on July 30, 2001. In the pursuit of this
policy, this Act shall have the following objectives: (a) to conserve and protect wildlife
species and their habitats to promote ecological balance and enhance biological
diversity; (b) to regulate the collection and trade of wildlife; (c) to pursue, with due
regard to the national interest, the Philippine commitment to international
conventions, protection of wildlife and their habitats; and (d) to initiate or support
scientific studies on the conservation of biological diversity.
The country has 529 endemic vertebrates (DENR-PAWB et. al. 2002) for
which many of the endemic mammals and avia faunas are in endanger of extinction
if the current crisis continues. Heaney (1999) asserted that “it is tragic that the
biodiversity of the Philippines and the threat of its impending loss have been
discovered simultaneously”. Due to this scenario, Heaney (1999) concluded that the
nation is facing stark alternative: either a decline from the biologically richest place
on earth to environmental devastation, or recover from the current brush with
disaster to a point of stability. The decline of the Philippine forest is primarily due to
the Philippine government failure to implement protective policies and the corruption
of former administrations.
This is especially true on the latter half of last century where the forest
declined from 50% in 1950 to less than 20% at present, of which less than 3% is
primary forest left. As the publication of the Philippine spotted dear it states that by
the self-funded nationwide survey of Roger C. Cox, 95% of its natural distribution in
1985 and 1987 is believed to have kick started the present intense conservation
action is the Philippines.
The Philippine government reacted by passing an Executive Order 192

through the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to create
the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau (PAWB) in 1987. The Bureau’s
responsibilities are: to establish and manage the country’s Integrated Protected Area
System (IPAS); to formulate policies of the preservation of biological diversity; and to
serve as the management authority in the enforcement of the Convention on

SAN MIGUEL CAMPUS
International Trade in Endangered Species of wild fauna and flora (CITES). PAWB
has 4 divisions: Biodiversity management, Natural recreation and extension,
protected areas commission, and Wildlife resources. DENR in 1989 established the
sustainable development concept as its central guiding principle.
The department also formulated the Philippine Strategy for Sustainable
Development (PSSD) that incorporated the concept of the Triple Bottom Lines (i.e.
economic viability, ecological sustainability and social responsibility) as its central
them Related Studies According to Ceferino P. MAALA a visiting professor in
Hiroshima University-Japan, the Philippine is high on the list of priority countries in
the world for wildlife conservation because of its remarkable biological diversity,
large number of endemic animal and plant species, inadequate wildlife protection
measures, and high rate of deforestation What are endangered species?
According to the definition given by the International Union for the
Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN), endangered species are
plants or animals that are being threatened with extinction due to excessive hunting
and large scale destruction of their habitat. Conservationists all over the world are
alarmed by the 1996 Report of the International Union for IUCN taking that the
number of critically endangered mammals in the world has increased significantly
from 169-180, primates from 13-19, fresh water turtles from 10-24, and birds from
168-182. Of the list for endangered mammalian species, nine are endemic to the
Philippine islands.
These are the Golden crowned flying fox, Negros naked-backed fruit bat,
Philippine tube-nosed fruit bat, Panay bushy-tailed cloud rat, in hairy-tailed cloud rat,
Visayan warty pig, Calamian hog deer, Visayan spotted deer, and tamaraw. Among
the critically endangered avian species in the report is the Philippine eagle. Although
no endangered marine mammals were mentioned in the report, whale sharks are
fast disappearing from Philippine waters (Esplanada, 2000). For example, the
Rhicodon typus (also known as pating patola in Zambales, toko in Mindoro, balilan in
Cebu and Bohol and butanding in Bicol and Palawan), which regularly visits the
waters of Donsol, Sorsogon (located at the tip of Bicol Peninsula) from November to
May are rarely sighted in Philippine waters now.

SAN MIGUEL CAMPUS
These gentle, polka dotted whale sharks are widely hunted by local fishermen
for its meat and fins, which are reported to command a high price abroad. To prevent
the Richodon typus from completely disappearing from the Philippine waters, the
Philippine government in 1998 declared the whale shark endangered; thus, banning
poaching and exporting of its 2 Ceferino P. MAALA meat, which is a delicacy in
some Asian countries. Other nongovernmental conservation groups such as the
World Wildlife Fund Philippines (Kabang Kalikasan ng Pilipinas) and large business
conglomerates like Nokia Philippines, Megaworld Corporation and International
Container Terminal Services Incorporated have supported the government's
campaign to protect the whale shark.
The Philippine Daily Inquirer a leading Philippine newspaper also supports the
save the whale shark campaign. Other endangered Philippine species are the
Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata), Olive Ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea),
Leatherback turtle (Dermochyles coriacea), Philippine crocodile also known as
Philippine freshwater crocodile and Mindoro crocodile (Crocodylus mindorensis),
Indo-Pacific crocodile or salt water crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), Mindoro bleeding
heart (Gallicolumba platenae), Mindoro bleeding heart (Ducula mindorensis), lesser
eagle owl (Mimizuki gurneyi), Philippine eagle owl (Bubo philippensis), silvery
kingfisher (Alcedo argentata), Mindoro hornbill (Penelopides mindorensis), celestial
monarch (Hypothymis coelestis) and Isabela oriole (Oriolus isabellae).
Philippines that are implementing various ways to protect and conserve our
endangered wildlife. They are ensuring the health and survival of the habitats, plants
and animals, conserving natural areas, protecting vital ecosystem services and
providing communities with economically sustainable alternatives to forest
destruction. Through these organizations, they assess forestry and agricultural
businesses to ensure that they are complying with different environmental standards,
which include properly caring for water and soil, monitoring wildlife populations,
protecting migratory pathways and prohibiting the hunting and trafficking of wild
animals. Organizations help communities establish and support tourism businesses
as an alternative to deforestation. Therefore, the different organizations for wildlife
take an effort and takes active part in forming to protect the wildlife.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY

This chapter discusses the research design and examines how the
researcher will collect the information and data needed for the study. It specifies the
research problem of this study, the research locale where the research will be
conducted, as well as the survey questionnaires.
METHODS
Before conducting survey, the researchers first seek permission to the Brgy.
Captain by asking permission in to conduct a survey in Community, the researchers
ask and inform consent to the respondents to ask some questions with regards
about their awareness of the RA 9167 Wildlife Conservation Act, then survey were
conducted throughout Barangay Carromata.
LOCATION OF THE AREA
The site is located in Brgy. Carromata San Miguel Surigao Del Sur. The
area where the researcher conducted survey and chose 5 random respondents in
every Purok 2, 3, and Purok 4. Majority of respondents we interview are Indigenous
people the head of the household and farmers.
Research Design
This Study Utilized the Observational Research Design. An observational
Research is a type of Co-relational research in which a researcher observes ongoing
behavior. Through this Research Design, This Study Will Describe the Assessment
of Implantation and Community Awareness of RA 9147 WILDLIFE RESOURCES
CONSERVATION AND PROTECTION ACT in Barangay Carromata San Miguel
Surigao Del Sur.
Sources of Data
The study has two sources of data, namely; primary and secondary sources.
The primary sources of data are through from browsing the internet. The secondary
sources of data include the information gathered from the interviews of the students
of Forestry to the Community of Carromata.

SAN MIGUEL CAMPUS
Data Gathering Procedure

The researchers sought the permission to Brgy. Captain before conducting
formal interview or Survey, the Data was gathered through evaluating their
awareness and determine if these endangered species is still seen in their
community and evaluate also the problems of extinction of threatened wild animals in
Carromata area. Data was transcribed in chart graph as a result of total gathering
data. The two different organizations who protect the endangered wildlife in the
Philippines to procure data as regards to the effective efforts to protect wildlife.
PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND PRESENTATION OF DATA
This chapter presents the analysis and interpretation of the data gathered in
this study. Here is some information gathered from the questions that the researches
made and answered by the respondents.
1. The awareness of the Community about the Republic Act 9167 or Philippine
Wildlife Conservation Act, according to the result that was gathered, Majority
of the people in community are already aware of the Law regarding to
preserving and Protecting wildlife species from illegal hunting and Human
activities especially in their locality, were answered by the head of the
households that are Indigenous peoples living for many years in community.
2. Because of harmful human activities, urbanization and climate change, some

of the species in the country becomes threatened. Another reason is because
of the Invasive Alien Species. These exotic species are plants, animals or
microorganisms that have been introduced outside their natural distribution
area. When IAS enters new habitats, the lack of predators and their ability to
compete with native species over the existing food supply can allow them to
dominate the local ecosystem. Local species can actually become a food
source of the IAS, and drive the former to extinction.
3. The important reason of protecting the wildlife is to save its small population
and to save them from extinction.

SAN MIGUEL CAMPUS
4. Some threatened species are can be found in some of the areas of San
Miguel particularly found in Upper areas of Carromata, Upper Brgy.
Calatngan, Sitio. Lamesa, Bagyang, Bitaugan, Lamesa and Bato, other
Endagered species and endemic species found in Lower San Miguel.
5. There were only about one to two animals that are being rescued every day.
These animals are not really endangered. Usually, animals like snakes,
turtles and monkeys are being turned over by those who don’t know how to
handle these animals according to DENR.
6. There’s a circumstance that the rescuer is being harmed by the animals that
they’re rescuing. Especially when those animals are not used to human
activity. Accidents are inevitable in rescuing wildlife animal.
7. There are different ways on how modern technology helps these

organizations to protect the wildlife easier. The Geographic Information
System (GIS) technology is an effective tool for managing, analyzing, and
mapping wildlife data such as population size and distribution, habitat use
and preference, changes in habitats, and regional biodiversity. GIS offers an
indispensable means of tracking threatened animals to help prevent further
harm or even extinction. In the other hand, the Global Positioning System
(GPS) device will normally record and store location data at a pre-determined
interval or on interrupt by an environmental sensor. These data may be
stored pending recovery of the device or relayed to a central data store or
internet-connected computer using an embedded cellular (GPRS), radio, or
satellite modem. The animal's location can then be plotted against a map or
chart in near real-time or, when analyzing the track later, using a GIS
package or custom software. But they don’t have enough number of these
devices because these devices cost too much expensive. It can be afforded if
there were sponsors that are willing to help financially.

SAN MIGUEL CAMPUS
8. Medical health plans are provided for all the animals. Quarantine tests and
annual health assessments are also given for all the animals that they are
taking care of.
9. They only provide a temporary shelter. Their main objective is to rehabilitate

the rescued animals and they will bring them back to their natural habitat.
10. There are many regional rescue centers all over the country. It is required to
have at least one rescue center/sanctuary for the animals every region.
According to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the
Philippine flora has 101 critically endangered species, 193 endangered
species and 240 vulnerable species. In the other hand, the Philippine fauna
has 299 resident species, 203 migrant species, 421 endemic species, 22
indigenous species, and 7 newly introduced species.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This chapter presents the summary of findings, conclusions and
recommendations of the study. This study determined the awareness of the
Community to the Wildlife Conservation Act in barangay Carromata RA 9147
exerted by the DENR in protecting and conserving the country’s wildlife. This sought
to answer the following sub-problems.
Summary
In spite of those harmful activities by humans, different organizations strive
hard to protect and take care of the wildlife. There are gradually of animals are
being rescued a day. Protectors of the wildlife are sometimes put in danger like
being harmed by the animals that they are trying to rescue. The DENR- Protected
Areas and Wildlife Bureau Rescue Center is established as a temporary shelter for
donated, rescued, abandoned and confiscated endemic, indigenous and exotic
wildlife from Surigao Del Sur and nearby provinces.
Nowadays, modern technology plays a big role in our daily lives to make our
job easily. There are some devices that are being used by the DENR to track and
detect the threatened animals. Unfortunately, these devices are costly that can’t
afford and can’t operate continuously. In spite of that, the organizations are trying to
bring back the rescued animals to their habitats and also, they provide the entire
medical health plan that the animals needed.
DENR implemented rules and regulations on conserving the country’s wildlife
resource and their habitats for sustainability. It is entitled “The Wildlife Act: RA No.
9147”. In general, the DENR-PAWB is the primary government agency responsible
for terrestrial wildlife protection. They aim to conserve and protect wildlife species
and their habitats to promote ecological balance and enhance biological diversity.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Conclusions From the analysis, interpretations and implications of the findings of the
study,
the following conclusions were drawn:
1. The Community in carromata are aware about preserving and protecting wild
animals through proper maintaining the wildlife’s biodiversity balance by preventing
human activities, killing and hunting wildlife it will maintain ecological balance to the
wildlife.
2. There were many different organizations, different in objectives and efforts. But
still they are striving for one goal, to take good care, protect and preserve the
natural resources that our countries can be proud of.
3. Protecting wildlife is to encompass plants and animals. Protecting wildlife will also
