18. Temperate forests Found in such places as eastern North America, northeastern Asia, and western and eastern Europe, temperate forests are a mix of deciduous and coniferous evergreen trees. Usually, the broad-leaved hardwood trees shed leaves annually. There are well-defined seasons with a distinct winter and sufficient rainfall.

20. Forest plantations generally intended for the production of timber and pulpwood increase the total area of forest worldwide. Commonly mono-specific and/or composed of introduced tree species, these ecosystems are not generally important as habitat for native biodiversity.

47. The world's largest volcanic island that is on a lake , on a larger island , on a larger lake , on another (bigger) island.

48. The Mouth of Taal Volcano: This Crater lake is highly sulfuric lake may have medicinal properties. It is the real Taal volcano.

49. This tiny verdant island, called Vulcan Point or sometimes Vulcan Island, lies at the center of a strange-but-entirely-true natural wonder.

51. The volcano features of the island suggest that there are at least 35 eruption cones and 47 craters of depressions formed either by direct explosive eruptions or collapsed subsidence.

52. There are about 35 different volcanic landforms. This strongly indicates the eruption centers of Taal Volcano are numerous, complex and may erupt from any other points.

53. MAIN CRATER (1749, 1754, 1911 eruptions) BININTIANG MALAKI (1767,1715 eruptions) BININTIANG MUNTI (1709. 1731 eruptions) PIRA-PIRASO (1731 eruptions) OFF CALAUIT (1716 eruptions) MT. TABARO (1976-1977 eruptions)

54. AREA SUSCEPTIBLE TO BASE SURGE LAKE/WATERBODIES Hazard zone limits are based on data from historical eruptions of 1764, 1911 and 1946

55. Houses were covered with ashfalls during 1965 eruption Taal Volcano,1965

56. Taal Volcano,1965 Turbulent mass of ejected fragmented volcanic materials (ash and rocks), mixed with hot gases that flow downslope/away from crater at very high speed (>60kph)

57. AREA SUSCEPTIBLE TO BALLISTIC PROJECTILES LAKE/WATERBODIES Taal volcano island has been designated as permanent danger zone

60. AREA SUSCEPTIBLE TO SELCHES/LAKEWATER OSCILLATION LAKE/WATERBODIES

63. The Taal Volcano Protected Landscape was proclaimed a Protected Area in 1997 and covers 65,000 hectares.

65. (Defense of Nature) is a non-stock, non-profit and non-governmental organization doing public interest lawyering in the Philippines.

68. The Protected Area Management Board of Taal Volcano Protected Landscape unanimously approved on November 26, 2009 a ten-year Management Plan for the lake basin.

69. The PAMB was created with a membership of about 30, consisting of the planning officers of the towns in the basin. The existence of the PAMB was reported to be the reason President Estrada abolished the PCTT – so that there would be no overlap in jurisdictions.

70. On December 17, 2009, the approved plan was placed in a time capsule and buried on the grounds of the Batangas Capitol marked by a Sampaga tree planted by the Governor herself. The capsule is to be unearthed after ten years to see how the lake has fared.

71. In 2004, at a meeting of key stakeholders including the Chief Executives of all the lakeshore municipalities, issues of Taal Lake Management were coming to the fore and the Mayors were briefed about the status of the Protected Area Management Board. In 2006, a covenant among all the mayors and the Governor was signed for the protection of the lake.

72. This covenant and the to the resulting commitments led first drafting and approval of a Unified Rules and Regulations for Fisheries in the lake, and then to the crafting of the first protected area management plan in the country that is funded by local governments and is in two languages (English and Filipino). PAMB membership now stands at 157, with a 35 member Executive Committee.

73. PAMB Executive Committee committed to contribute P75,000 for each town, P2,000 for each barangay, and P500,000 for the Provincial Government to fund the process of management planning to be facilitated by TK.
