There are estimated to be a maximum of 1,245 individuals, but could well be less than 1,000, with the largest remaining populations today found on Palawan and adjacent smaller islands. a<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The long-term goal of the Philippine Cockatoo Conserva\u00adtion Programme (PCCP) is the down-listing of the species from \u2018Critically Endangered\u2019, and the main strategy of the programme is to conserve in-situ its remaining viable subpopulations.<\/strong> This is through technical conservation measures, like nest protection, and through active participation and understanding of the local population, especially local decision-makers. Warden schemes remain the single-most important tool to assure the short-term survival and recovery of the species, whereas lobbying, conservation education, habitat restoration and reintroduction, as well as provision of alternative livelihood options are important for the long-term improvement of the conditions for cockatoo conservation in the Philippines.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>For 14 years the Loro Parque Fundaci\u00f3n has been supporting the Philippine NGO, the Katala Foundation, with a total of US$1.365.168 to run the PCCP.<\/strong> It has done this in partnership with Chester Zoo, the Zoological Society for the Preservation of Species and Populations (ZGAP), Conservation des Esp\u00e8ces et des Populations Animales (CEPA) and Association Beauval Conservation &amp; Recherche.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Due to the success of this project, the overall population may now be slowly increasing.<\/strong> Between 1999 and 2003, the activities of the PCCP focused on the small offshore island of Rasa and the nearby mainland community of Narra in eastern Palawan. A community-based wardening scheme on Rasa Island, which has the densest cockatoo population known to remain, ensures that no nests are poached. The project has initiated a slow withdrawal to transfer responsibility to a local conservation group. The other important locations in Palawan where the PCCP has been working for some years are the island of Dumaran, the Culasian Managed Resource Protected Area in the district of Rizal, and the islands of Pandanan, at the southern tip of Palawan in the district of Balabac.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Formerly found throughout the Philippine archipelago, the endemic Philippine Cockatoo (Cacatua haematuropygia) is close to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1703],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.5 (Yoast SEO v22.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Saving the Philippine Cockatoo: A $1.3M Conservation Success<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover how Loro Parque Fundaci\u00f3n and the Katala Foundation are bringing the Philippine Cockatoo back from the brink through community-based protection.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loroparque.com\/en\/conservation-programme-philippine-cockatooo\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Saving the Philippine Cockatoo: A $1.3M Conservation Success\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Discover how Loro Parque Fundaci\u00f3n and the Katala Foundation are bringing the Philippine Cockatoo back from the brink through community-based protection.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.loroparque.com\/en\/conservation-programme-philippine-cockatooo\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Loro Parque\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/loroparque\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2013-06-26T13:41:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-04-22T14:35:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.loroparque.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Logo-LP_vertical1-fondo-claro.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1140\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"870\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Loro Parque\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Loro Parque en redes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"Loro Parque, embajada animal referente de conservaci\u00f3n y protecci\u00f3n de especies en Tenerife y el mejor zoo moderno del mundo por Tripadvisor.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@loroparque\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@loroparque\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.loroparque.com\/en\/conservation-programme-philippine-cockatooo\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.loroparque.com\/en\/conservation-programme-philippine-cockatooo\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Loro Parque\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.loroparque.com\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/2c03774d1d305dab72587f82a2fcdacf\"},\"headline\":\"Conserva\u00adtion Programme &#8211;
