ESI President, Pierre Fidenci, along with three indigenous people is currently exploring deep mountainous forests
of the forgotten southern Palawan Island, Philippines. The goal of this mission is to search for the rare
Philippine forest turtle, evaluate ecosystem conditions, and establish indigenous support activities where
fragile unique ecosystem and culture still remain. He is crossing through unexplored and virgin forests valleys,
foothills, and high mountains (up to 1,500 m) starting from the Sulu Sea coast all the way to the China Sea coast.
At present he is staying with one of Tao't Bato indigenous people village at an altitude of about 700 meters.
This expedition is very physically challenging and risky (various types of malaria, difficult terrains with no roads and
trails); we wish him good luck!

ESI is launching "the Tao't Bato indigenous people home land and culture support initiative". Through several
expeditions in the deep mountains of southern Palawan, Philippines, ESI staff has assessed some terrible damages
on the native home lands of the indigenous people. ESI is committed to acting now and restoring their cultural and
natural heritages and stop further pillages of their resources. As part of the initiative, we will be removing
graffiti from vandalism at their living caves and will be working closely with all concerned authorities and organizations
to better control and restrict the access to their mountainous home land. Support us now and make a difference!

ESI with the collaboration of the Bp Conservation Programme, the Wildlife Conservation Society,
and Palawan State University organized a GIS (Geographic Information Systems) training for the young
conservationists of the Philippines. The training occured in Puerto Princesa, the capital of the island of
Palawan. The course provided young local conservation biologists with an opportunity to learn how
GIS can be used to assess the conservation status of endangered species. They learned how to conduct a
regional conservation assessment using GIS to determine critical conservation areas for an endangered species
and to use landscape analysis to determine optimal landscape configurations for conserving endangered species.
