This document is the first generation of an environmental report card for the Philippines that attempts to communicate watershed conditions. This report card focuses on six indicators; natural cover, biodiversity, water, agriculture and land-use, waste management, and watershed governance.
This document was developed under the leadership of Philippine staff from the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) of the Iloilo Provincial Government and University of the Philippines in the Visayas (UPV). The Canadian Urban Institute (CUI) delivered technical advice and project management. The Toronto Region and Conservation Authority also provided technical assistance through seconding Gary Wilkins, a former TRCA staff person to the project; Mr. Wilkins also acted as principal author of this document.
Canada’s International Research and Development Centre (IDRC) provided funding under Improving Evidence-based Planning for Watersheds in the Philippipines
