Our Research Proposal

1. Biodiversity Status of Flora
and Fauna in Mt. Palaopao,
Manolo Fortich Bukidnon

2. Researchers:
Cagalawan, John Caesar Q.
Magan, Quinone
Santizas, Edsa E.
Tangarurang, Honey Grace C.

3. Background of the Study
• Biodiversity loss in one of the
world’s most pressing crisis. In
recent years the environment
is the center of destruction
and the most vulnerable and
suffers the impact of this are
those endemic species, the

4. number of this endemic species
changes and decreases every
year that caught the awareness
of the government thus, needs
more attention and protection
towards extinction. Therefore,
monitoring the status of species
and human activity is a must to
implement conservation
measures.

5. Research Questions /
Statement of the Problem
This study seeks to know
the Biodiversity Status of Flora
and Fauna in Mt. Palaopao,
Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon.
Specifically the study aims to
answer the following questions:

6. 1. What are the plants and
animals found in Mt.
Palaopao, Manolo Fortich,
Bukidnon.
2. What species of plants and
animals are abundant in Mt.
Palaopao, Manolo Fortich,
Bukidnon?

7. 3. What is the conservation
status of plants and animals
found in Mt. Palaopao, Manolo
Fortich, Bukidnon?

8. Significance of the Study
• The DENR
• The Community Near the Area
• The Future Researcher

9. Scope and Limitation
This study will only be
conducted in the area that is
covered of Mt. Palaopao Manolo
Fortich Bukidnon. The date
should only be base on the
Biodiversity Status Mt.
Palaopao, Manolo

10. Fortich, Bukidnon including
the Flora and Fauna that are
present in the area. The study
is limited with a 20x20 meter
scope and would not be
conducted outside the area of
Mt. Palaopao, Manolo Fortich,
Bukidnon.
