Book Publication:Kadaiyahan sa Kinaiyahan: A Glimpse of Vertebrate Diversity in the University of the Philippines Mindanao (Hard Copy Only)

by Lief Erikson D. Gamalo, Marion John Michael M. Achondo, Von Carlo P. Dela Torre, Fritzie B. Ates-Camino, Ruth U. Gamboa, Brian T. Sabanal, Ma. Niña Regina M. Quibod, and Noel Carl L. De Los Reyes.

The University of the Philippines Mindanao’s Wildlife Human Interaction Studies, Ecological Research, and Biodiversity Conservation Laboratory (WISER BioCon Lab) proudly presents the naturally beautiful, colorful vertebrate species documented on the campus. This coffee table book aims to popularize wildlife conservation as the campus transitions from one infrastructure project to another. Open patches may result in the loss of dwelling nooks for some wildlife species. Hence, campus development needs to consider the fate of wildlife.
