Participatory Biodiversity Inventory and Assesment of Lake Duminagat, Mt. Malindang Natural Park, Misamis Occidental

ABSTRACT

This project employed the Participatory Biodiversity Assessment methodology to characterize the Lake Duminagat area. The local communities surrounding Lake Duminagat were described in terms of their cultural and socioeconomic profile, perceptions, beliefs and practices about the lake, and utilization of the lake and its resources. The lake's biodiversity and that of its perimeter were inventoried and assessed. Some of the lake's morphophysicochemical characteristics were measured. It is hoped that involvement in this research gave the local researchers and the community an awareness of the natural and social factors that determine/ affect the Lake Duminagat ecosystem. It is also hoped that through the results of this research, the local communities will come up with a strategy to conserve the lake's biodiversity and sustainably utilize its resources so as to improve livelihood and cultural opportunities.
