Conservation Priorities

     One of the wetlands that must be conserved is the Malampaya Sound of northern part of Palawan. It said that Malampaya sound is home of the Irrawaddy Dolphins which is critically endangered subpopulation. The main livelihood near in Malampaya Sound is small-scaled fishing. And to conserve this place, the local communities must limit their fishing in there to for the sake of these endangered dolphins. 

     But some fishermen are unstable and not behaving properly, they still fishing in the area. To the local government need to banned the fishing in Malampaya Sound and migrate the communities near the area to some part of Palawan. As of today, the law of banning the fishing in the area is still continues.  

     Towards the cooperation of the people, they are continuously maintaining and sustainably enhancing the Malampaya Sound, making them to be aware and create a well-maintained place and purely beautiful natural resources.

Since Malampaya Sound is now developed, it becomes tourist spot and one of the wonderful places of the world. Let’s continue to save the world and conserve what God has given to us.
