A place where fresh water and salt water meet?
The global market value for the provision of food, timber, marine fisheries, and hunting and fishing is estimated at more than one trillion dollars per year. However, these ecosystem values are not adequately reflected in markets and polices, as evidenced by the fact that more than 60 percent of our planet's ecosystem services have already been degraded or are being used unsustainably. Freshwater systems provide essential ecosystem services, both for human populations and as home to the greatest concentration of biodiversity on Earth. However, the world's freshwater systems and their myriad species are losing their value for people due to depletion of water supplies, pollution of what remains, unsustainable harvest of species, the introduction of alien species, and changing climate. Conservation International is addressing the threats to ecosystem services, particularly in fresh water, for the benefit of humans and biodiversity alike through its Ecosystem Services and Freshwater Initiative. Launched in 2007, this initiative includes science, practice, and leveraging policy and behavior changes. The results CI is generating are critical for making a business case for biodiversity and ecosystem services conservation as a means of generating human welfare benefits within larger contexts of human development, poverty alleviation, and land-use decisionmaking. These results can only be achieved through strong partnerships with research institutions, national and international nongovernmental organizations (including development and humanitarian organizations), governments, corporations, and local organizations among others; such partnerships are a cornerstone of CI's overall conservation strategy.

What is the condition of Philippines biodiversity nowadays?
PHILIPPINES BIODIVERSITY AND WATERSHEDS IMPROVED FOR STRONGER ECONOMY AND ECOSYSTEM RESILIENCE (B+WISER) PROGRAM The Philippines is one of the 17 mega biodiverse countries, containing two-thirds of the Earth’s biodiversity and 70 percent of world’s plants and animal species due to its geographical isolation, diverse habitats and high rates of endemism. The Philippines’ biodiversity provides several ecosystem services. It provides food, water, energy sources, pharmaceuticals, biomass fuels, carbon sequestration and climate regulation, crop pollination, cultural and spiritual inspiration and ecotourism value. Thirty percent of the population, including 12 to 15 million indigenous peoples, resides in the uplands where most of the forests are located. These forests provide timber and non-timber products totaling $100 million in net benefits yearly. The Philippines is also one of the world’s hotspots with a large number of endangered and threatened species–making it a top global conservation priority area. Designed by USAID in collaboration with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), B+WISER improves natural resource management and reduces risks from disasters. In partnership with the national and local governments and other stakeholders, B+WISER conserves biodiversity in forested areas and reduces forest degradation in targeted priority watersheds. The project also builds capacity to conserve biodiversity, manage forests, and support low-emissions development, as well as contributes to disaster risk reduction at the subnational level. ACTIVITIES Strengthening forest protection through enhanced biodiversity and threats monitoring and environmental law enforcement (ELE). Formulation and application of a forest restoration strategy through the establishment of Forest Management Units. Enhancement of environment and natural resource management planning. Assess the management and governance of institutions in Protected Areas (PA) and implement strategies to address gaps. With B+WISER’s assistance, PA management boards and local government units have passed over 70 policies, regulations and action plans addressing biodiversity conservation and climate change. Develop and enhance key national policies and plans, including the National Protected Areas Master Plan, Philippine Strategic Action Plan, and the Forest Law Enforcement Manual and Handbook on ELE in PAs. Establish approach for setting national-level Forest Reference Emission Level (FREL). Establish partnerships for forest and watershed restoration and protection. KEY EXPECTED RESULTS By 2017, B+WISER expects to: Improve management and governance of 780,000 hectares of key biodiversity areas (KBA) and their associated watersheds; Support restoration initiatives in 78,000 hectares of forest areas, including mangroves Reduce or sequester 5.34 million metric tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) (measured in CO2 equivalent) Leverage $5 million from partnerships with public and private sector groups GOAL Improve natural and environmental resource management in the Philippines. OBJECTIVES Conserve biodiversity in forest areas Reduce forest degradation in targeted priority watersheds Build capacity to conserve biodiversity, manage forests, and support low emissions development Contribute to disaster risk reduction at the subnational level Reference: www. usaid.gov/philippines/energy-and-environment/bwiser

What is positive about Rio Tinto?
As there website homepage declares: "Helping to create and maintain the diversity of natural life is a responsibility that we take very seriously. We operate in regions throughout the world that are recognised and valued, both locally and globally, for their biodiversity and we are committed to managing them by reducing our impacts and capitalising on conservation opportunities. There is now increasing expectation that industry should take a role in conservation management. Our biodiversity programmes enable us to better understand and address identified issues through a sustainable development approach, involving traditional landowners and local communities, governments and local non government organisations (NGOs). Our strategy states that we aim to have a net positive impact (NPI) on biodiversity. We, therefore, need to demonstrate that our actions have positive effects that outweigh the inevitable negative effects of the physical disturbances and changes of land associated with mining. "
