A PROPOSED QUEZON BOTANICAL PARK AND RESEARCH FACILITY
Area of Research
Abstract
Botanical gardens are developed in the fields of conservation, education, and
recreation globally throughout centuries of historical development. They help in
providing a scientific basis towards sustainable use and conservation of plant diversity
and help the public increase their understanding of plants. CALABARZON is home to
diverse flora and fauna (DENR, 2019). One of the most recent discoveries in the region
is a new subspecies of Hoya (also called "waxplant” or “waxflower”) and Rafflesia found
in Quezon (Macasero, 2019) Quezon has the largest area in CALABARZON with a total
of 870,660 hectares (DENR, 2019). Through the proposed Quezon Provincial Botanical
Park and Research Center, newly discovered species in the area such as Hoya and
other plant species especially those endemics to Quezon province can be preserved
and propagated. The main purpose of the project is to provide aesthetics, educational
display, and research center. The proposed project will support taxonomic studies that
will provide valuable information on various plants. Botanical gardens help preserve and
rebuild biodiversity as they supply a wide range of plant species, seed, flowers, and fruit
for botanical and agricultural research, as well as for conversation and propagation of
rare species and genetic diversity. With this, nearly extinct or endangered plants are
taken care of, while the effects of urban sprawl such as air pollution are lessened.
Hence, this project is to educate the community by providing workshops and training
sessions about horticulture, hybridization, and plant propagation.
