[Main] The Philippines is home to many undiscovered wildlife, especially arthropods. Thus, the country is open to and encourages biodiversity researchers both local and foreign. For the past decades, collaborative work between Philippines and other countries have been successful.

Conducting research in the Philippines that involves collecting wildlife requires permissions from the country's Department of Environment and Natural Resources ( DENR ). The DENR is keen on protecting the country's natural resources, and this is accomplished by pursuing programs that contributes to environmental conservation [1]. The DENR also strictly implements the rules, regulations, and guidelines in collecting Philippine wildlife. Republic Act 9147, also known as the "...
