only immediately removes poaching as a major threat factor, but at the same time provides a wealth of traditional knowledge for the protection of the species. Constantly being refined as necessary,


the methods applied over the past twenty years have resulted in the recovery of the local populations of the Philippine Cockatoo in four project sites within Palawan, being the islands of Rasa, Dumaran and Pandanan/Bugsuk, and the Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm mainland site, which in 2019 collectively had between 60 to 86% of the total population. Therefore these form an important part of the overall positive population trend which, more than merely remaining stable, is gradually increasing. The tortoise is winning! All objective estimations of wild populations incorporate an upper limit and a lower limit, which are shown in Figure 1 for the four most recent years (2016-2019). Thus,


the most optimistic latest population estimate is of 1,278 individuals, and a four year increase between 14.5 and 23.2%. If current levels of protection in the


project sites can be maintained and the positive cockatoo population trend continues, down-listing could be achieved by 2024 following the IUCN criteria for population recovery of three generations, which is 39 years for this species, and assuming that the major population crash occurred in the mid-1980s. Palawan is currently undergoing rapid


development, some of which affects directly the breeding and foraging habitats of cockatoos. To help avoid the more damaging effects of such development, the PCCP is involved in policy dialogue with local and national decision makers and government agencies regarding these emerging issues. Slowly, but surely is the way forward.
