1 Biodiversity indicators for sustainable land use in Luzon, Philippines development, education and awarenessraising (BioLuz) Funding Measures for Biodiversity Module 1: Subject-related Partnerships with Institutions of Higher Education in Developing Countries Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst DAAD German Academic Exchange Service

2 Core Objectives 1. to contribute to the development of regional biodiversity indicators as tools for research, planning and decision-making and biological indicators can be used in the monitoring of biodiversity, in ecosystem assessments and in adaptive management schemes 2. to contribute to biodiversity conservation through education and awareness-raising

3 Collaborators Prof. Dr. Roland Brandl, Dr. Stefan Hotes (Philipps-University Marburg ) PD Dr. Josef Settele (Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ ) Dr. Damasa M. Macandog and Dr. Nina M. Cadiz (University of the Philippines Los Baños - UPLB ) Dr. Buyung Hadi (International Rice Research Institute - IRRI )

The photos taken are very useful for identification and will be included in the future write-ups.

19 Feb. 8-9, 2016: Ms. Uy and Mr. De Chavez visited the Museum of Natural History, Berlin, Germany and met Dr. Thomas von Rintelen, malacologist, who works in the Museum and helped them to identify micro land snails. Their collection of micro land snails were compared with those collected from Asia. At the Museum of National History, Berlin, Germany with Dr. de Chavez and Dr. Hotes.

23 Visiting researcher & VISITING scholar programs at Phillips Universitat Margburg June-July 2016 Rowena Japitana Presentation of Ms. Japitana s ongoing thesis at the Department of Ecology in Marburg University Overall, this fellowship opportunity has provided me more information in improving my research especially with the modelling part and the analysis of the results of my study. Furthermore, I was also able to extend my networks with other colleagues working on biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services which is a good preparation for any future joint researches.
