Social-ecological transitions in the silvopastoral system of San Isidro, Rosario, Batangas, Philippines were analyzed using land cover trends and community perceptions. A combination of remote sensing processing, randomized survey, and participatory approaches were conducted. Four of six land cover categories (forests/ orchards, grasslands, crop fi...

Agroforestry landscapes in the Philippines provide benefits or ecosystem services that have traditionally and sustainably supported food production for rural communities and the protection of natural resources. However, the very continuity and sustainability of agroforestry is in question because of the rise of new generations of landscape users th...
Article
The loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services in landscapes and seascapes creates complex sustainability challenges in climate, biodiversity and food that span local to global levels. Collaborative networks such as The International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI) link scales through knowledge frameworks and implementation of solut...
Technical Report
The tidal wetland-dykeland ecosystems of the Bay of Fundy provide essential benefits or ecosystem services that support peoples’ well-being and those of non-human lifeforms, such as plants and animals. However, the futures of these ecosystems and their ability to provide and sustain these benefits are strongly driven by climate change impacts (e.g....
Chapter
We explore local knowledge on water in lowland, midland, and upland villages in the Libungan-Alamada Watershed in Mindanao, Philippines. Specifically, we investigated local knowledge on water use and other natural benefits derived by the villages from their water sources (i.e., river and spring) or water-related ecosystem services (WES). We impleme...

Significance Statement Women empowerment and participation in forest management are essential to sustain critical natural benefits or ecosystem services (ES) that forests provide. In mountainous landscapes in Nepal, women are the core users or dependents of key forest-based ES such as food, fodder, and fuel to support their families’ wellbeing. Wit...

The relevance of traditional land-use systems in Asia is under threat from externally influenced drivers such as the use of modern agricultural technologies, urbanization, rapid industrialization, overexploitation, and underutilization. The impacts of these changes in land use are contributing to a loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services (BES)...

Books and other written materials about high school research are currently available and being used by students and teachers as reference to conduct or teach research. However, many finished researches are still not science fair ready and eventually fail to qualify to the annual Regional/National Science and Technology Fairs (R/NSTF)- removing thei...
Conference Paper

Cotton-polyester fabric is manufactured to alleviate increase in cotton prices. However, polyester production faces issues such as denaturalization of materials, energy usage, and increase in carbon footprints. The purpose of the study was to find indigenous fibers which can become a new standalone fiber for fabric production or as blend with cotto...
