a. Background of the Project

Wildlife traditionally refers to undomesticated animal species, but has come to include all
plants, fungi, and other organisms that grow or live wild in an area without being introduced
by humans.In Miriam Webster dictionary, wildlife means plants and animals living in
natures. Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, forests, rain forests, plains,
grasslands, and other areas including the most developed urban sites, all have distinct
forms of wildlife. While the term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are
untouched by human factors, most scientists agree that much wildlife is affected by human
activities. Humans have historically tended to separate civilization from wildlife in a number
of ways including the legal, social, and moral sense. Some animals, however, have adapted
to suburban environments. This includes such animals as domesticated cats, dogs, mice,
and gerbils. Some religions declare certain animals to be sacred, and in modern times
concern for the natural environment has provoked activists to protest against the exploitation
of wildlife for human benefit or entertainment.

- Problem Statement:

The Ayala Group of Companies together with the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources proposed to build a project that will help boost the wildlife tourism of the country.
AGC being the main proponent of the project intends to build the BiodiverCity, the first ever
wildlife resort in the country. BioderCity will be a getaway place for those who want to
escape from urban life. The resort will cater both local and foreign tourists and will offer
adventurous experience with the countrys wildlife. The project will also become the center
for Philippine wildlife research and propagation. The project will be located in one of the
provinces in the outskirts of Metro Manila for ease of access.

- Research Objectives:
To promote the wildlife tourism while conserving the natural resources.
To develop the area without affecting the protected wildlife.
To build a structures that complementing the surroundings.
To promote the culture to the local and foreign tourists.
To become a major tourism site that provides unique experiences in forest areas.
- Scope and Delimitation

Scope:

The coverage of the research is focused on Wildlife Resort, species that can be found and
living on the chosen site. The study aims to incorporate the harnessed data into the
designing of the design solution and also to develop a wildlife area without affecting the
surroundings and at the same time, to promote the ecotourism and conserve the natural
resources. The data gathered will help to come up with a design that can benefits the locals
of the community.

Delimitation:

The researchers will be limited and will have the difficulty in conducting such activities due to
unpredictable weather conditions. The geographic location of the chosen site limits the
researcher to explore the whole area and not familiar with the place.

b. Case Study:
- Local Projects:

Ramos Beach Resort

Pangasinan are known because of the beautiful beaches, caves, waterfalls and also the
Hundred Islands located in the City of Alaminos. We went to Bolinao, which is also known
because of the beautiful beach along the side of Lingayen Gulf. We conduct our first case
study in Ramos beach resort, it is located along the shoreline of Bolinao, Pangasinan. We
have assess the following factors:
Accessibility: Bolinao is the farthest and end part of Bolinao. The travel time takes 6 hours
from Manila to Bolinao, and 2 hours from Mangatarem, Pangasinan. Also, from the Town
proper it takes 15 minutes to arrive from the Ramos Beach Resort. It is very inconvenient for
those who doesnt own a car to go in this resort, because of the expensive fare of the
tricycles.

Environment and Micro-climate:

Bolinao's climate is classified as tropical. Most months of the year are marked by significant
rainfall. The short dry season has little impact.

Site Planning and Space : The resort is not yet developed, so there are only some cottages
and cabins for the guests/ visitors to stay. They dont have any amenities like swimming
pool.

Pangasinan
 Maleluag Hot Spring Resort, Mangatarem Pangasinan

. Location/Boundaries

The PAs main entry point and hot spring resorts facilities are
located at Brgy. Malabobo, Municipality of Mangatarem,
province of Pangasinan with coordinates 154000 to
154500 latitude and 1201500 to 1201700 longitude.
Other barangays within the periphery of the PA are Barangay
Catarataraan, Calomboyan Sur, Lawak Langka and Pacalat, all
within the town of Mangatarem, Pangasinan

Area

The park is bounded on the north by a Reforestation project which is about 2,125 hectares,
on the East by Alienable and Disposable lands which is approximately 2,014.90 hectares, on
the West by unclassified public forest and on the South by reforestation project with an
approximate area of 1,620 hectares. It is approximately 15 kilometers southwest of the town
proper of Mangatarem, Pangasinan.

Climate

Climate is characterized by two pronounced seasons: dry and wet. The wet season occurs
during the months of May to October, while the dry season is from the month of November to
April. Although the dry season is characterized to be hot and humid, fresh atmosphere
prevails within the mountains due to the presence of considerable vegetation in the area.
Relative humidity ranges from 70% to 85% with an average annual temperature ranging
from 23.3 to 32.4 .

Geological Characteristics/Landform
Generally, the soil of Mangatarem is classified into 7 main groups, namely: Bani Clay, San
Manuel Fine Sandy Loam, Bantog Loam, San Fernando Clay, San Manuel Silt Loam,
Alaminos Loam, and Mountain Soils, differentiated type. The soil in MSPL is generally of
Alaminos loam. Its structure and consistency is friable, granular and slightly compact.

The protected area consists of several rock formations and rock units which are listed as
follows:

Gabbro forms in an extensive massive to layered norite, partly troctolite, normal

gabbro and pematitic anothosite. It exhibits banding formed by concentration of mafic
minerals along various horizons. The rock forming minerals are usually anhedral and show
varying degree of alterations.

The diabase dike complex swarms mainly of diabase, partly micro gabbro and
andesithic. It is composed of fine grained basic dikes, which range in thickness from 5cm to
15cm. The rock exhibits hydrothermal alterations.

Quaternary alluvium consists of detrital deposits, mostly sand and gravel.

The area is slightly rugged and gently sloping to mountainous.

Hydrology

MSPL is supplied by two bodies of water: the freshwater and mineral hot springs. The
freshwater comes from the two rivers namely; the Barabac and Basican Rivers and a free
flowing natural spring which supplies the reforestation nursery and other water needs of the
park.

The mineral hot springs supplying the two swimming pools of the protected area is believed
to originate from the volcanic block of dormant volcanoes namely Mt. Malabobo and Mt.
Mangatarem which drain at the base of the ultrabasic formations. Water temperature is
about 50 with sulfur as its main content.

According to the initial results of the hydrological study made by Edmundo P. Vargas of the
Institute of Geological Science of the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City,
the MSPL has two springs issue in rock fractures with a temperature at 34 . Accordingly, it
has unique feature due to the rare occurrence of high pH water.
The origin of the Manleluag Hyperalkaline Hot Spring is a unique occurrence in the
Philippines. It is characterized by hyperalkaline (pH10 to 11.5) and highly reducing waters (-
200 to 300mV) with little dissolved oxygen present (<1mg/L). Active gaseous exhalation
could be methane or hydrogen gas due to its combustible nature.

Its origin is a puzzle to most and has been widely attributed to a nearby volcanic plug. The
study presents an alternative origin of the Manleluag Hyperalkaline Hotspring, which is
produced by the dissolution of underlying gabbros of the Zambales Ophiolite. Accordingly,
alkalinity is due to the hydrolysis of Mg-rich rocks (i.e. gabbros) while the hydrolysis and
oxidation of iron in minerals (e.g.pyroxenes) accounts for its highly reducing state. A
geochemical reaction path model (i.e. Geochemists Workbench) was used to elucidate the
chemical reactions that took place to produce this unique natural occurrence in the
Philippines.

The geochemical reactions based on the model shows that the Hyperalkaline Hot Spring is
a product of chemical weathering. Deuterium and Oxygen-18 isotope analysis also show
that the hyperalkaline water is relatively young due to its dilute nature and related to
meteoric waters which originate at around 1000m above sea level. It is not volcanic in origin
as generally known. Discharge is considerable given the fact that it came from a relatively
fractured gabbro.

Utilities

Visitors are welcomed by the protected area staff upon arrival. Parking space is also
available. Visitors are also oriented on the allowable activities within the protected area. It is
also noteworthy that all swimming pools are cleaned regularly, daily for the 2 small pools and
weekly for the semi-olympic sized pool. The construction of pavement with railing and board
walk were also intended for the elderly and disabled tourists.

Transportation

Mangatarem is approximately 4 hours ride from Manila. MSPL is accessible through a 7.8-
kilometer all weather barangay road from the national highway at Barangay Andangin.

Tabin Wildlife Reserve, Malaysia

Created in the year 1984, Tabin has been declared a Wildlife Reserve primarily on account
of the large number of animals inhabiting its forests, some of which are highly endangered.
The three largest mammals of Sabah, namely Borneo Pygmy Elephant, Sumatran
Rhinoceros and Tembadau are all found within the reserve; nine species of primate are
present, as well as three species of cats all of which are on the protected wildlife list. Of bird
species, 42 families representing 220 species have been recorded. One of the highlights of
Tabin being the active and mineral-rich mud volcanoes, attracting frequent visits by wildlife
for their mineral intake and present an ideal platform for wildlife observation and bird-
watching.

The Wildlife Department of Sabah is the custodian of the animals in the reserve while the
Forestry Department of Sabah is responsible for the tress in Tabin. The reserve is covered
mainly with lowland dipterocarp forest.

Since the availability of accommodation provided by Tabin Wildlife Resort in 2004, Tabin
Wildlife Reserve has gained popularity to be one of the best places in Sabah to observe the
rich bio-diversity of nature and to part-take in nature-base activities. Amongst the popular
things-to-do in Tabin are jungle-trekking, night safari, night walk, wildlife-spotting, bird-
watching and rainforest education.

Tabin Wildlife Reserve is located in the eastern part of Sabah, Malaysia, on the island of
Borneo. The reserve comprises a rectangular area of approximately 300,000 acres in the
centre of the Dent Peninsula, north-east of Lahad Datu town, south of the lower reaches of
the Segama River and north of the Silabukan Forest Reserve.

Machan Wildlife Resort, India

Machan Wildlife Resort lies on the edge of Chitwan National Park,home to over 400 species
of birds, mammals and flora and fauna.
Machan is the perfect place to visit for the wildlife enthusiast and explore the wildlife on an
Elephant back safari or on a jungle walk in the Sal forest, Riverine forest or in the open
grassland and in the river in a traditional dug out canoe/Patela Boat to view aquatic birds,
crocodiles and animals along the river bank. There are over 450 species of birds, more than
half the entire species of birds found in Nepal and over 45 species of amphibians and
reptiles within the Chitwan National Park. The park is also home to over 43 species of
mammals including the Bengal Tiger, One-horned Rhinoceros, Leopards, Sloth Bear and
four species of Deer. A jeep safari, a nature walk, or a safari held on natures mightiest four
by four, the elephant, ensures the wildlife enthusiast an enthralling ride through the jungle
and a chance to see all these rare animals.

c. Review of Related Literature

A study by Mishra (2011) on Causality between tourism and Economic Growth; Empirical.
Evidence from India. Analyze the growth of tourism in India and observed that it is one of the
efficient tools for promoting economic growth of the host country. According to the study last
few decades, tourism industry in India has been growing at a rapid pace for the last few
decades and it has vast potential for generating employment and earning large amount of
foreign exchange besides giving a fillip to the countrys overall economic and socio-cultural
development. The study used popular time series models for the period spanning from 1978
to 2009. The results provide the evidence of long-run unidirectional causality from tourism
activities to economic growth of the country. Based on this the study recommended for
active partnership among the all wings of the central and state governments, private bodies
and voluntary organizations in the Endeavour to attain sustainable growth in tourism and
overall economy as well. Dritsakis (2010) empirically examined the impact of tourism on the
long-run economic growth of Greece by using the causality analysis among real gross
domestic product, real effective exchange rate and international tourism earnings. A
multivariate autoregressive VAR model is applied for the period 1960 2000. The results of
co- integration analysis suggested that there is one co -integrated vector among real gross
domestic product, real effective exchange rate and international tourism earnings. Granger
causality tests based on error correction models (ECM) have indicated that there is a strong
Granger causal relation between international tourism earnings and economic growth
strong causal relation between real exchange rate and economic growth, and simple
causal relation and between real exchange rate and international tourism earnings. Khalil
etl (2007) Examined the role of tourism in the short run economic development in case of
Pakistan through error correction models and the casual relationship between tourism
receipts and economic expansion. The result points out that there is a strong relationship
among tourism, receipts and economic expansion.
Getting close to animals is an extremely popular mechanism whereby tourists can feel they
are communing with nature. The demand for interaction with nature has been argued to be
fundamentally important to humans (Hendee & Roggenbuck, 1984). In an increasingly
urbanised world, many people now travel to reconnect with things natural. There is no
doubt that the modern nature conservation movement and the increasing number of
environmental-based media (for example, the growth of the Discovery Channel on
television, as well as many environmental magazines, web-sites and movies) have
contributed to this demand. A further contributing factor maybe the decreasing number of
opportunities to interact with nature. The decline of high quality wilderness areas has been
long recognised and well documented (Leopold, 1949). This rarity may contribute to the
attraction as it does with many other rare commodities such as precious metals, art,
stamps and even locations (for example, beach-front 286 M.B. Orams / Tourism
Management 23 (2002) 281293properties). There is, therefore, a growing demand from
tourists to interact with wildlife in the wild and, in particular, those animals that are unusual
and/or endangered are especially targeted (Shackley, 1996). A further contributing factor is
the increased number of wildlife-based tourism operators who are marketing the
opportunities for interaction, for as Fabbri (1990, p. xiv) points out quite often in market-
oriented economies, the demand tends to be a response to the offer. The more pressing the
offer, the higher the demand Fabbris point is well made. It is important to recognize that
demand for interaction with wildlife in the wild is not a simple function of an inherently
desired activity. Rather it is an outcome of a complex relationship between opportunity,
image, perceived benefit, cost and history.
By the opening of the new millennium, ecotourism was no longer a specialty industry with
little global impact. It had become a significant economic activity, especially in developing
countries, and was being used as a tool for conservation and community development. A
2005 analysis of dozens of recent surveys by the Center on Ecotourism and Sustainable
Development found that more than two thirds of U.S. and Australian travelers, and 90% of
British tourists, consider active protection of the environment, including the support of local
communities, to be part of a hotels responsibility. Further, more than 75% of U.S. travelers
and 87% of British travelers felt that it is important for their visits to not damage the
environment; over one third of both British and U.S. travelers said they were willing to pay
more for travel companies committed to environmental protection. And, by 2001, half of all
British tour operators said that their companies had developed some type of responsible
tourism policy.

Wildlife conservation in Kenya confronts persistent, complex and possibly overwhelming

socio-economic andecological problems (Akama, 1993). One of the major concerns is the
rampant snaring of wildlife by the local communities living around the protected areas in
Kenya especially during dry seasons when food sources are relatively scarce (Akama, 2003;
Munagai, 2004). It is believed that after charcoal burning, the trade is the most successful
jua kali business in Kenya (Mungai, 2004). It is estimated that in total, 2 million metric tons of
illegal bush meat is harvested each year in Africa with an estimated 300,000 tons consumed
in Kenya (Mungai, 2004). Hunting of wildlife for human consumption has been identified as
both conservation and a human livelihoods issue (Bennett, Eves, Robinson and Wilkie,
2002; Brown, 2003; Milner- Gulland, Bennett and HSBC, 2003). It is a conservation issue
because it can lead to population declines of target species (Bennett, 2000; Peres, 2000a;
2000b; Steadman and Stokes, 2002), to local extirpations (Peres, 2000b) and even to global
extinctions (Olsonand James, 1982; Holdaway and Jacomb, 2000; Oates et al., 2000). It is
also a human livelihoods issue because hunting results in the loss of wildlife resources for
inhabitants of rain forests (Department for International Development, 2002).Many of these
forest- dwelling people are divorced from national economies and have little alternative
source of protein and income (Robinson and Bennett, 2002). While in some regions, hunting
of wildlife is legal, snaring of wildlife on the other hand is not legal. Snaring is the
indiscriminate, illegal killing (except in self-defense) or capture of wild animals and marine
life for subsistence or commercial purposes (Musili, 1993; Youth for Conservation (YfC),
2002). Snares are made of metal wires usually obtained from electric fences, old
tires,Snaring activities in protected areas and wildlife dispersal areas in Kenya are done by
some neighboring local communities while in other areas it is practiced by the non-
indigenous tribes (YfC, 2002; YfC, 2003b). Moreover, snaring and bush meat trade has been
found to escalate in areas with very high levels of poverty (YfC, 2003b). In some instances, it
is believed that wild animals being snared cause havoc in local farms and are killed to
reduce agricultural damage (World Bank, 2003; YfC, 2003b). Furthermore, how to address
the bush meat crisis in Africa remains elusive. There are those that argue that the only way
to save wildlife species is to stop illegal hunting (Peterson, 2003) but in many contexts,
prohibiting illegal hunting for wild meat will be institutionally difficult, prohibitively expensive
and can be challenged on ethical grounds (Adams and McShane 1992; Ostromet al.,1999).
There are also those that argue that the only hope for breaking the destructive patterns of
resource use is to reduce rural poverty and improve income levels, nutrition, health care and
education (Brandon and Wells, 1992).With a human population of about 40 million (Kenya
Demographic and Health survey (KDHS) 2008-09) and a projection of an increase to about
65 million by 2030 (KNBS and ICF Macro, 2010), compounded with significant rise in
poverty as well as a cashless society, there is a notable tendency of wildlife to provide a
cheap source of protein (Bernett, 2000). This dependency poses potential threat to Kenyas
wildlife population. For community wildlife conservation to succeed, integration of the local
population is paramount (Infield, 1988; Balakrishnan and Ndhlovu, 1992; Bonner, 1993;
Omondi, 1995). The success of wildlife conservation depends on the support of the local
communities living adjacent to the park (UNEP, 1988; Colchester, 1994). Ruma National
Park (RNP) is the only park of its kind in Nyanza province and is well known due to
Rothschild giraffe and roan antelope with the latter occurring nowhere else in Kenya.

Local community surrounding the park has heavily relied on wildlife meat for domestic
consumption possibly due to abject poverty in this society thus leaving them with no
alternative but bush meat consumption for their survival. Moreover, cattles keeping has not
 been a viable source of livelihood in the area due to Tsetse fly infestation in the Lambwe
Valley. Goat and sheep keeping are therefore major options, but are also killed by the
predators like leopards and hyenas. Baboons, monkeys and other invaders destroy small-
scale crops available while lone buffalos chased from the herd within the park move in buffer
zones and cause danger to the local community. The locals are forced to stop using the
footpaths close to the park through Nyatoto gate by early evening due to wildlife attacks.

On the contrary, the park officials have made many threats and several arrests as a strategy
to reduce snaring in and around the park. However, this attempt has been perceived by the
locals as exercising more value for wild animals at their own expense. It is against this
background that the study explored an integrated wildlife conservation and alternative
livelihood strategy through conservation tourism to the local community around RNP.
telephone lines, thick winch cables, electric cables, nylon line or vegetable fibers and come
in various sizes often determined by the size of the target animal (YfC, 2003a). They are
non-selective and once set on a trail could catch any moving animal ranging from the small
antelopes to big herbivores (East and Hofer, 1995; ADMADE, 2003). Some wildlife species
are also killed by a hail of poisonous arrows (YfC, 2002).

Biological Resources

The 2006 research of the Haribon Foundation covered the lowland to the highest elevation
of 1400 masl. Sample plots were established inside and outside MSPL. The vegetative
cover is classified as disturbed secondary lowland forest. The degraded area has been
reforested with mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla), teak (Tectona grandis) and alibangbang
(Bauhimia sp.), which were interspersed with the existing dipterocarp trees. The natural tree
species documented in the MSPL include the white lauan (Shorea contorta), guijo (Shorea
guiso), palosapis (Anisoptera thurifera), yakal (Shorea astylosa) and others such as kalumpit
(Terminalia microcarpa) and pahutan (Mangifera altissima). The tallest emergent trees are
palosapis and guijo with heights of 50 m and diameters-at-breast-height of between 75 cm
and 130 cm were found in MSPL. The canopy species are mahogany, which measures 20 to
30 m high and DBH 40 to 70 cm. Saplings of this species also dominate the understory.

A total of 65 species of plants were recorded in the area during the survey (Table 1). Of this
total, 57 are trees and eight species are shrubs, herbs, climbing bamboos and climbing
vines. Several of the trees and other plant species have been known to have one or more
economic uses (Fox, 1952). Examples are tibig (Ficus nota), dita (Alstonia scholaris),
antipolo/kalanat (Artocarpus blancoi), banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa), palosapis
(Anisoptera thurifera), and kupang (Parkia roxburgii), which are used for medicinal
purposes. The fruits of palosapis and pahutan (Mangifera altissima) are edible. Moreover,
tibig can produce drinkable water and the sap of kalanat is used by locals in trapping birds
and other small animals.
