THE IMPACT CAMPAIGN
The film and accompanying impact campaign is designed around behavior change models. Audience-specific calls to action will focus on site-specific and community-specific needs for the protection of sharks and rays.
The film will first be shown to target communities in Palawan living alongside sharks and rays as well as university students in Palawan. We then hope to expand the campaign to host further screening events. Updates will be shared on our social media platforms.
HEAR STORIES FROM: MARINE PARK RANGERS, FISHERS, BUSINESS OWNERS, CONSERVATIONISTS, ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS.
This project was made possible thanks to the trust and support of our partners and stakeholders, including but not limited to, the Palawan Council for Sustainable Development (PCSD), Tubbataha Management Office, WWF-PH, the Local Government Unity of Cagayancillo.

New study finds that working in wildlife tourism can act as an incentive for the conservation of marine species
Philippines. 22 March 2021, A new study by researchers from the University of Victoria (CA) and Large Marine Vertebrates Research Institute Philippines has found that working in wildlife tourism can act as an incentive for the conservation of marine species. Community-based whale shark tourism workers had more protectionist views, recognising the inherent value of wildlife, and were more likely to report positive changes in their attitudes and behaviours to protect whale sharks.
