Forests are vital in providing ecosystem services and have<br \/>contributed directly and indirectly to the livelihoods of an estimated one billion people globally. The<br \/>continued degradation of forests prompts the need for timely and scientific approaches to guide<br \/>conservation targets and policies. This study aimed to assess forest biodiversity and habitat quality<br \/>through the habitat suitability model of the black shama (Copsychus cebuensis) as a biodiversity and<br \/>environmental indicator for terrestrial biodiversity areas in Cebu Island, Philippines. A multi-criteria<br \/>approach was explored using a predictive habitat suitability model based on Weights-of-Evidence<br \/>method through the estimation of a set of environmental predictor variables from GIS and remotelysensed data. With the use of Bayesian rules, evidence layers in the form of environmental variables<br \/>were then combined in a weighted spatial overlay to produce a single map of probability and<br \/>occurrence. The resulting map was divided into 3 ranges of suitability, 3 as highly suitable, 2 as<br \/>moderately suitable, and 1 as not suitable. The majority of the island especially those in the key<br \/>biodiversity areas are only classified as moderately suitable (76.8%). Highly suitable areas for the<br \/>black shama are very limited (1.26%) which indicates the need to expand the priority areas and focus<br \/>conservation in key biodiversity areas with lower habitat suitability indices. The suitability model<br \/>can be used to locate and prioritize critical areas that will serve as basis for developing appropriate<br \/>conservation plans throughout Cebu island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>KEY WORDS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biodiversity Conservation; Black Shama; Habitat Suitability Model, GIS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Link to the Article<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/a-a-r-s.org\/proceeding\/ACRS2020\/lobwva.pdf\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isabella Pauline L.
