The Candaba swamp--an extremely important staging and wintering area for thousands of migratory birds from October to April of every year--is now ready for physical and ecological development.
The Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA) has already signified their intention to help promote the town's swamp as one of the few places in the country with unique features that could be conserved for eco-tourism purposes.
The Reserve, a 72-hectare swamp, is a privately initiated protected area where migratory and endemic birds flock and thrive. It has an observatory deck and information center and has a 4-kilometer perimeter-dike walk trail.
TUBBATAHA REEFS NATIONAL MARINE PARK, Palawan—Since 1995, park rangers have relied on aging government equipment and meager funds to protect this remote atoll in the middle of the Sulu Sea from poachers and illegal fishers who have ravaged its resources.
But with the help of foreign grants and increasing tourism revenues, the country’s most favored scuba diving destination has reversed the trend. Park rangers are getting improved facilities and proper training, and Tubbataha’s marine resources have recovered significantly.
As foreign visitors start flocking to local beaches and exploring tropical forests in December to escape wintry climes back home, national parks are expected to benefit from the flow of tourist dollars.
The much-needed income is a blessing, as the national government has not provided a budget for managing national parks. Without the money from entrance fees and the patronage of conservation groups, many protected areas would still be languishing from government neglect, their forest and marine resources getting depleted due to exploitation.
