Katala Foundation

Mission statement

Katala Foundation Inc. (KFI) works with local communities in the Philippines, most especially in Palawan, to conserve the Palawan Forest Turtle through in-situ and ex-situ conservation measures, scientific research, community outreach, conservation education and capacity building of stakeholders.

Our strategies are:

1. Increase capacity and empower local partners and communities as effective conservation managers;

2. Increase level of knowledge on biodiversity conservation through intensive conservation education activities and thereby influencing positive attitudes and behaviours towards the environment;

3. Implement effective projects and programs to halt biodiversity decline;

4. Conduct scientific research along with local partners applying international standards and methodologies to fill up research gaps and recommend the most appropriate action for decision makers to lead;

5. Develop proactive leadership among local partners; and

6. Strengthen the organization through staff development.
