Addressing the need to develop techniques that help set area targets for species requiring landscape management has been the heart of collaboration between Conservation International (CI) and World Agroforestry Cent re (ICRAF) in the Philippines. This initiative falls within the broader context of the Hotspot Alliance between the two global organizations, which aim to promote advances in the science a nd practice of agroforestry to improve human livelihoods and biodiversity conservati on in Global Biodiversity Hotspots. Apart of the scientific collaboration is a mee ting-workshop to discuss the contribution of the agroforestry/ agricultural matrix to the conservation of globally threatened landscape level conservation in the Philippine Hotspots: m oving from theory to practice. The meeting- workshop was held in Los Baños, Laguna, Philippi nes, April 11-12, 2008. This report covers the summaries of all presentations, a synthesi s of the meeting-workshop and the current research gaps and issues identified in the conser vation of globally threatened species requiring landscape level approach. Research needs and opportunities emerging from the workshops are shared in this report.
