Protected Areas in the Philippines
The
mission of the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau (PAWB), a Bureau of
the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources of the Republic
of the Philippines, is the conservation of the country's biological
diversity through:
- Establishment, management and development of the National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS)
- Conservation of Wildlife Resources
- Information and Education for Nature Conservation
PAWB
envisions a perpetual existence of biological and physical diversities
in a system of protected areas and such other important biological
components of the environment managed by a well-informed and empowered
citizenry for the sustainable use and enjoyment of present and future
generations. |
