ABSTRACT
Summary: Three islands in the Philippines illustrate the strong correlation between population density and biodiversity loss. The study explores the root causes of population trends on the three islands to show how different historical patterns of political and economic power and access to land continue to shape resource use and biodiversity loss today. Research team: Members of the project team were team leader Dr Celso R Roque, Dr Prescillano M Zamora, Dr Rufino Alonzo, Dr Sabino G Padilla, Mirriam C Ferrer and Maria Dulce M Cacha.
