| Date Issued | 19 June 2024 |
| Abstract | Progress in the country comes with urbanization that consequently affects the urbanwildlife and fragments the remaining green patches. Therefore, past studies aimed toconserve habitats in urban landscape as they realized that urban wildlife is importantto the remaining ecosystem. These studies emphasized that when these faunal speciesare also prioritized, its ecological role will continue and will contribute tostrengthening the urban ecology. Such examples are the urban birds that re seeddispersers throughout the city. However, habitat conservation in parks surrounded bylarge and highly urbanized developments is not often tackled. This study aims topropose landscape interventions for habitat conservation of chosen vian species in theurban environment of Bagong Nayong Pilipino Urban Forest Park located at the heartof Entertainment City, Parañaque. The research aims to select the appropriate targetspecies which are the Pycnonotus goiavier and the Dicaeum australe and to study theirbehavior and life cycle requirements in the area, the landscape conditions,disturbances such as pollution and noise, the future land use, and the users’ needs. Thefindings will then be used for redesigning the site into a wildlife inclusive park forhabitat conservation and ecological improvement. It is hypothesized that if a wildlifeinclusive park is designed, then target birds are protected and thus ecologicalimprovement in the urban landscape is achieved. The results and outputs of the studywill show the significant impact of birds when their needs are also addressed in Nayong Pilipino amidst other human demands and urban developments. |
