Philippine Tarsier Foundation

Philippine Tarsier Foundation is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Philippine Tarsier Foundation rather than just read about it. In short: The Philippine Tarsier Foundation, Incorporated (PTFI) is a non-profit, non-stock corporation based in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines, established in 1996 to conserve, promote research, and establish a sanctuary for the Philippine tarsier.

Reference excerpt

The Philippine Tarsier Foundation, Incorporated (PTFI) is a non-profit, non-stock corporation based in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines, established in 1996 to conserve, promote research, and establish a sanctuary for the Philippine tarsier. Organized by local businessmen in Bohol, an island of 1.2 million people, the foundation runs an 8.4-hectare (20.7-acre) sanctuary or forest reservation, nestled within a larger protected forest where about a thousand other Philippine tarsiers are believed to live, protected by a permanent logging ban.

Programs, projects, and activities

Tarsier research The Philippine Tarsier Foundation undertakes the collection and cataloguing of all available research materials on the Philippine tarsier, from various institutions and agencies in the country and abroad, as well as the production of information and promotional materials.

Tarsier habitat management The Foundation has designated approximately 134 hectares as public domain. To date, the Foundation has acquired 8.4 hectares of land in Canapnapan, Corella, Bohol for the sanctuary.

Carlito Pizarras, dubbed as the "tarsier man", serves as the Field Supervisor of the sanctuary. As employee of the foundation, he assumes responsibility for the maintenance of the net enclosure and its inmates. The foundation further coordinates the conduct of reforestation projects and other related activities or initiatives.

Community management The foundation plans to expand and replicate the program in other areas with Philippine tarsier populations like Mindanao, Leyte, and Samar.

Visitor management The Tarsier Research and Development Center is situated about 14 km. outside the provincial capital, Tagbilaran City, in the town of Corella, Bohol. It also serves as a visitor center.

Tarsier trail The tarsier trail begins at the Tarsier Research and Development Center in Barangay Canapnapan, Corella, Bohol and covers a 134-hectare forested area.

Foundation

Board of trustees and officers On April 17, 1996, the Philippine Tarsier Foundation Inc. was registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission, with the following prominent Bohol residents listed as incorporators: the Rev. Florante Camacho, SVD, president of the Divine Word College of Tagbilaran; Anos Fonacier, municipal councilor of Panglao, Bohol and resort operator; and Col. (Ret.) Zosimo Angan, businessman. They were later joined by Richard Uy, banker, and Marlito Uy, department store owner. Elected principal officers were Fonacier as chairman; Camacho as president; and Jesus Alvarez, who is the only non-Boholano on the board, as executive vice-president. The executive officers of the Board of Trustees and Officers of the Philippine Tarsier Foundation during its incorporation in 1996 were Fr. Florante S. Camacho, SVD, president; Jesus Alvarez, executive director; Urbano Lagunay, secretary; Marlito Uy, treasurer; and retired Col. Zosimo Angan as auditor. The Board of Trustees were Anos Fonacier, Chairman; Richard Uy, Vice Chairman; Honorary Chairperson was Secretary Mina Gabor of the Department of Tourism, and the first Executive Director/Office Manager was Mr. Jovito Danilo C. Nazareno. During his term, the Philippine Tarsier and Wildlife Sanctuary Visitor Center was built and, together with the help of Mr. Carlito Pizarras, tarsier trails were established, marketing and promotional activities of the area as an ecotourism destination were introduced, and linkages with other environmental organizations and funding agencies were established to support captive breeding. Other preservation activities were also conducted.

Carlito Pizarras Carlito "Lito" Pizarras, known as the "Tarsier Man", is the Field Supervisor of the 8.4-hectare Philippine tarsier sanctuary run by the Philippine Tarsier Foundation in Barangay Canapnapan, Corella, Bohol. Hired by the foundation in 1998, he maintains the net enclosure and its 100 Philippine tarsier inmates. He also serves as a resource person and guide to visitors and researchers at the Research and Development Center.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Philippine Tarsier Foundation

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Philippine Tarsier Foundation claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Philippine Tarsier Foundation before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Philippine Tarsier Foundation ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Philippine Tarsier Foundation

In research: Philippine Tarsier Foundation appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Philippine Tarsier Foundation in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Philippine Tarsier Foundation is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1996 establishments in the Philippines, Animal sanctuaries, Animal welfare organizations based in the Philippines, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Philippine Tarsier Foundation outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
