| Summary, etc | This study identified waterbirds in the wetlands of Casiguran, Aurora using the complete census method. Findings reveal that 18 species of waterbirds belonging to 5 families and 12 genera are present in the wetlands of Casiguran.<br/>Among the identified waterbirds, only one is endemic and a resident species. Most of the birds recorded are migratory waterbirds. Intermediate egret (Egretta intermedia) was the most abundant.<br/>Three waterbird species observed (Anasluzonica, Egretta eulophotes, Numerius madagascariensis) are listed at the IUCN as endangered and vulnerable. This means that these species need conservation effort by protecting their habitat. The rest of the waterbird species observed are classified by IUCN as least concerned.<br/>It is recommended that information, education, and communication program for the protection and conservation of mangrove areas that are important habitat for waterbirds be strengthened. Awareness campaign should include the importance of ecological and socio-economic benefits of mangrove forest and the need for priority action for this site conservation. Sustainable and holistic approach must also be strengthened. |
