| Abstract | The threats of urbanization in Cavite, abrupt population growth and the transformation of public and private lands into residential, industrial and commercial uses have endangered the province’s biological diversity. As a consequence of man’s remorseless domination over the environment just to pursue his egotistic needs, the province’s forest reserves is slowly vanishing, the wildlife’s natural habitat has been replaced by tall structures. The only remaining showcase of old growth and wildlife in Cavite is the protected landscape of Mt. Palay-Palay/Mataas na Gulod found in Ternate, which is as well exposed with continuous deforestation and development. In an attempt to save the remaining reserve of Cavite, this thesis study dealt with the development of Mt.

The site is a critical area to develop and so, proper guidelines and extensive interviews and data gathering about the condition of the site were strictly followed.
