First Philippine Symposium on Freshwater Biodiversity and Ecosystems

First Announcement

First Philippine Symposium on 

Freshwater Biodiversity and Ecosystems

7-10 June 2016

The University of Santo Tomas, together with the California Academy of Sciences, PUSOD, Inc., University of the Philippines - Institute of Biology, Ateneo de Manila University, the Association of Systematic Biologists of the Philippines (ASBP) and the Biodiversity Management Bureau, in cooperation with International Society of Limnology (SIL) will hold the 1st Philippine Symposium on Freshwater Biodiversity and Ecosystems from June 7-10, 2016 at the Buenaventura Garcia Paredes, OP Building, University of Santo Tomas, Manila.

The 4-day event will gather international and national experts from the fields of limnology and freshwater biodiversity. We envision it to provide a venue for the dissemination of current research updates on the field from the Philippines and abroad as well as showcase the results of the USAID / NSF PEER Project of the University of Santo Tomas and the California Academy of Science on Lake Taal biodiversity.

This event is going to be held in cooperation with the International Society of Limnology (SIL), specifically the Working Group on Inland Waters of Tropical Asia. As such, we intend to have a special session devoted to Asian tropical inland waters, which can provide opportunities for researchers in the region to interact and collaborate on future projects.

UEP logoThe University of Eastern Philippines (UEP) will host the 2015 Symposium. Established in 1918, UEP is the only comprehensive and the first state university in the Visayas: it offers the largest number of undergraduate and graduate degree programs and short-term courses and certificates among the higher education institutions in the Eastern Visayas region.


The 24th Philippine Biodiversity Symposium is being organized by the Biodiversity Symposium of the Philippines. BCSP is a professional organization of wildlife researchers, managers, scientists and conservationists. It has the aim to advance biodiversity research and conservation in the Philippines by facilitating communication and contributing to improved research and conservation capabilities of those working on Philippine biodiversity particularly members of the association, and to increase public awareness, appreciation, and understanding of Philippine biodiversity.

Marine Biodiversity Conservation: Key for Sustaining Goods and Services (PAMS)

The Philippine Association of Marine Sciences (PAMS) carries the task of promoting growth of marine science in the country, and recognizes the important role of Philippine scientists in furthering knowledge on tropical marine ecosystems. In line with this goal, PAMS organizes the National Symposium in Marine Science every two years, alternately held in the three regions (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao) of the country.

This year we take PAMS to Tacloban.  The 12^th PAMS Symposium will be held on October 24-26, 2013. This year’s theme is "Marine biodiversity conservation: Key for sustaining ecosystem goods and services."
