Summary
The Critically Endangered tamaraw survives in the Indigenous Taobuid and Alangan territories on Mindoro island in the Philippines. The tamaraw, their ecosystem and Indigenous cultures and livelihoods are threatened by land degradation and unsustainable exploitation. The project will extend across the entire tamaraw range approaches successfully piloted for Indigenous governance, co-management with authorities, and science-based conservation. In parallel, it will advance island-wide policy collaboration on tamaraw conservation and build individual, institutional and Indigenous capacity to sustain and upscale its achievements.
