The CERS Palawan centre is located at the estuaries of Maoyon River and the Sulu Sea, the region is surrounded by multiple cultural sites and diverse habitat, which provide a platform for research and education for students and researchers.
The site is located near the estuaries and offers a diverse ecosystem including mangroves, primary jungle, freshwater and the ocean, and a World Heritage Natural Site, The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, which showcases a spectacular underground river and karst landscape.
The site is also located near the Batak tribe, which was once exclusively hunter-gatherer and now is facing a challenge of fading culture under civilization. CERS has conducted multiple projects to document their ancient techniques and help them develop a sustainable livelihood.
WHMCE organizes exploration trips for HKU students to the Palawan site and provides opportunities for students to gain multidisciplinary knowledge including ecology, geology and anthropology.
