Join us for an Invited Scientific Lecture by Dr. Marjorie D. delos Angeles (UPLB) on “Floral Diversity and Ecological Drivers of Plant Assemblage in the Batanes Archipelago.”

Speaker: Dr. Marjorie D. delos Angeles, Project Leader, University of the Philippines Los Baños
Date and time: Thursday, November 19, 2026, 11:00 AM–12:00 PM (PHT)
Venue: IESM Auditorium, UP Diliman, and online via Zoom

Batanes sits at the northernmost frontier of the Philippines, an isolated natural laboratory for island biodiversity. Dr. delos Angeles presents early findings from a DOST-PCAARRD-funded project with UPLB and Batanes State College. The project maps plant diversity across Itbayat, Batan, Sabtang, and Ivuhos and examines the soil and environmental factors that shape these communities. She will also discuss what the results mean for conserving the province’s endemic and threatened flora.
