To protect one of the country’s critically endangered species, Dr. Nikki Heherson A. Dagamac, a Balik Scientist and biology expert, has embarked on a mission to assess and monitor the elusive tamaraw (Bubalus mindorensis) in its natural habitat in Mindoro.
BALIK Scientist Dr. Nikki Heherson A. Dagamac’s Project Matapat team worked closely with the Iraya-Mangyan tribes in camera trapping and habitat assessment of the critically endangered tamaraw in MCWS.
The project was supported by the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology, and implemented by the Department of Biological Sciences, University of Santo Tomas in collaboration with D’Aboville Foundation, Demo Farm Inc., Tamaraw Conservation Program, and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources MCWS Protected Area Management Office.
Another component of the project focused on habitat suitability analysis using ecological niche modeling to identify areas that are highly suitable for the translocation of tamaraws. Project Matapat worked closely with the Iraya-Mangyan tribes in camera trapping and habitat assessment activities in MCWS.
