Southern Palawan Ecosystem Accounts

Wealth Accounting and the Valuation of Ecosystem Services (WAVES). (2015). Southern Palawan Ecosystem Accounts.

As one of the eight country partners in the World Bank's WAVES (Wealth Accounting and the Valuation of Ecosystem Services) global partnership, the Philippines is constructing ecosystem accounts for Southern Palawan.

The Department of Environment and NaturalResources national and provincial offices, along with the Palawan Council for Sustainable development (PCSD), with support from international and national experts, led the development of ecosystem accounts that use a "ridge-to-reef" approach to assess the upland, lowland, and coastal zones of the Southern Palawan region, Pulot Watershed and the coastal areas of Sofronio Española.

There are numerous competing demands on the resources of Southern Palawan, which is rich in forestry, mineral, marine and biodiversity. Its also home to a number of indigenous tribes and host to three large protected areas. The ecosystem accounting is useful in providing valuable information in the management and use of these resources, and as a guide for decisionmaking, conflict resolution and development planning.
