CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Newyear,newstory!
I am absolutely privileged to share a message of support and admiration to friends and colleagues at CCIPH forthisyear’sstrategicplanningevent.
If the track record in having diverse scope and geography, best use of cuing-edge science, and community-centric approach of CCI projects in the past two years are any indication, then the organization remains in the right path to achieving biodiversity conservation with a heart and soul. Qualities that we desperatelyneedinthesetryingtimes.
Social psychologists have identified two important predictors of great teams: One is ‘gender diversity’ and the other is ‘social perceptiveness’. I am certain that all of us know the importance of the first. The second predictor, on the other hand, is defined as individualsoftheteampayingaentiontooneanother,notbeingdominatedbyoneorafewpeople,andwithequalinputsfromall membersoftheteam.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Ten years ago, the Center for Conservation (CCIPH) began as a small, hopeful spino from Fauna & Flora International Philippines. Looking back on that journey today, we are incredibly proud of how far we’vecome.Since2015,CCIPHhasfocusedonimprovingprotectedareamanagementandbiodiversity conservation by building capacity, developing science-based tools, and encouraging community participation. To date, we have supported the management of over 1.3 million hectares of protected areas, assessed 229,000 hectares of High Conservation Value Areas, and trained 5,000 forest guards, including300IndigenousPeoples.
As we look toward the next decade, we want to make conservation something everyone feels a part of. CCIPH will continue ecosystem-based conservation and broaden engagement to include businesses, government, and citizens, making conservation accessibleandinclusiveindecision-makingtoaddressthebiodiversitycrisisandclimateemergencyforasafeandeco-resilientfuture.
Dr.NeilAldrinMallari President & Chief Scientist, CCIPH
We reimagine the conservation challenges that we face and oer solutions that explore innovative approaches that enable nature-positive action.
We aim to enhance conservation practice by puing inclusive conservation science at the core of decision-making.
Strategic Plan 2025-2035
We make conservation accessible to build a constituency for nature conservation.
Our Mission: We make conservation accessible.
CCIPH has built the following foundational frameworks that will revolutionize the county’s conservation eorts.
The LAWIN Forest and Biodiversity Protection System of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources - enhanced biodiversity monitoring system using technology solutions to captureandanalyzedatatoinformmanagement.
TheSukatngKalikasanFrameworkandToolkitofthePhilippines, buildsfromthetheHighConservationValueAreasandUNSystem ofEnvironmental-EconomicAccounting UN SEEA Frameworks.
Green Assessment and Recovery Framework GARF - a biodiversityandecosystem-based,post-disasterassessmentthat will inform rehabilitation, restoration, and recovery to help achieveresilience.
Enhanced (and electronic) Biodiversity Monitoring Systems (e-BMS - using technology solutions to streamline biodiversity monitoring and improve Protected and Conserved Areas domain awareness.
Philippine’s Rewilding Framework - a framework that follows ecological succession principles to restore degraded natural ecosystems and human modified ecosystems to achieve eco-resilience.

Strategic Plan 2025-2035
Bringing the plan into action
The ten-year strategic plan will help target and address significant challenges to conservation. The targets are estimated and may exceed the time frame.
Ecosystem-based Conservation
Restore at least three million hectares of degraded ecosystems
Protect and reduce the conversion of at least two million hectares of natural ecosystems
Protect and stabilize populations of at least 20 vulnerable and threatened ‘Cinderellaspecies’
Establish at least one million hectares of protected and conserved areas
Inclusive and
Nature-Positive
Enabling Environment
Secure at least five Ancestral Domains
20,000 people are actively participating in conservation and
At least 1,000 conservation leaders
Mainstream nature-positive operations to at least six
