The dataset comprises of occurrence data (400+ data points as of December 2018) on five fully invasive (category “E”) alien amphibian species (Class Amphibia: Order Anura: Eleutherodactylus planirostris; Hoplobatrachus rugulosus; Hylarana erythraea; Kaloula pulchra; Rhinella marina ) in the Philippines obtained from published and unpublished scientific literature, personal observations of experts, and from selected Natural History Institutions. The dataset was published and will be updated biannually by HerpWatch Pilipinas, Inc.
The development of this dataset was made possible through project of HerpWatch Pilipinas, Inc. (HWP), in collaboration with the Biodiversity Management Bureau of the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Rersources (BMB-DENR) and The University of Santo Tomas – Biodiversity, Ecology, Systematics, and Taxonomy Group (BEST): “Alien Amphibians and Reptiles, a Threat to Philippine Biosecurity: Developing a National Invasive Alien Amphibian and Reptile Species Inventory and Occurrence Database and an Observation and Monitoring System” Project (BIFA03_26) funded by the Ministry of the Environment, Government of Japan.

The taxonomic coverage of the dataset is five widespread invasive (invasion category "E" - Blackburn et al. 2014) alien amphibians (Class Amphibia: Order Anura) in the Philippines. This does not include the American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus), which was introduced in the Philippines but was likely unsuccessful in establishing populations.

In addition to filling taxonomic, geographical, and historical gaps in alien amphibian invasions in the Philippines, the project, with this dataset as one of the outputs, is expected to produce the much needed science-based information that can help guide the development and implementation of sound national biosecurity programmes for amphibian invasions, contribute to the Philippines’ international commitments to sustainability and biodiversity conservation.
This dataset will be maintained by HerpWatch Pilipinas, Inc., and new versions will be released biannually (June and December of each year).

Led by HerpWatch Pilipinas, Inc. (HWP) and in partnership with the Biodiversity Management Bureau of the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources (BMB-DENR) and the Biodiversity, Ecology, Systematics and Taxonomy Group, University of Santo Tomas (BEST-UST), the main goal of the project is to fill taxonomic, geographical, and historical gaps in species occurrence and sampling-event data, focused on the alien amphibians and reptiles in the Philippines. Ultimately, using invasive reptiles and amphibians as a pilot study, the project will develop an online national platform for the long-term observation and monitoring of alien species invasions and trends.
This Project will produce the much needed science-based information that can help guide the development and implementation of sound national biosecurity programmes for amphibian and reptile invasions, provide a reproducible framework for similar initiatives targeting other groups of alien taxa in the Philippines and other countries, and contribute to the Philippines’ international commitments to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and the International Convention on Biological Diversity’s Aichi Biodiversity Targets.
The Ministry of the Environment, Government of Japan, through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) Biodiversity Information Fund for Asia (BIFA) programme.
The geographic coverage of the Project is the Philippines.
The main goal of this Project is to fill taxonomic, geographical, and historical gaps in species occurrence and sampling-event data, focused on the 13 alien amphibians and reptiles in the Philippines, and develop an online national platform for long-term observation and monitoring of alien species invasions, with alien amphibian and reptile as pilot group. This will be achieved by:
(1) assembling historical and geographical data from literature and natural history collections;
(2) generating species occurrence and sampling-event data by conducting targeted herpetofaunal surveys in two key conservation areas, namely, Ilocos Norte Province, Luzon Island and Palawan Island, Palawan Province;
(3) reconstruct invasion histories and develop ‘Pest Risk Maps’; and,
(4) ultimately, developing an observation and monitoring system, named “DAYO” (filipino for “alien”) which we envision to be an online, open-access national platform and repository of species occurrence data and sampling-event data dedicated to invasive alien species in the Philippines, with alien amphibians and reptiles as pilot group, in the form of a web portal and a smartphone application.
(5) In addition, Information campaigns and training workshops targeting key stakeholders (i.e., communities, environmental managers) will be conducted to promote and encourage citizen science and contributions from volunteers.
HerpWatch Pilipinas, Inc. (HWP) leads the project in assembling species occurrence and sampling-event data, conducting herpetofaunal surveys, data analysis, preparation of data papers and original articles for publication, preparation of technical and financial reports, and official communication with GBIF-BIFA. The Biodiversity Management Bureau of the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR-BMB) helps in the design and execution of project and logistics in information campaigns and training workshops. The University of Santo Tomas – Biodiversity, Ecology, Systematics, and Taxonomy Group (BEST) provides consultancy and support for meeting venues, fieldwork, and laboratory. Other partner stakeholders of the project include the Philippine National Museum of Natural History, the University of the Philippines Diliman, the University of the Philippines Los Baños Museum of Natural History, the Silliman University Rodolfo B. Gonzales Museum of Natural History, and the Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology Natural Science Museum.
