    Excerpt
    Metro Cebu’s Olango Island Wildlife Sanctuary (OIWS) continues to be threatened by urbanization. The Olango Island Wildlife Sanctuary is a 5,800-hectare expanse in Metro Cebu that encompasses inter-tidal flat lands, mangroves, coral reefs, islets and seagrass beds. It was declared a wildlife sanctuary through Proclamation No. 903 in 1992. In the intervening years, however, urbanization – specifically population pressure, coastal development and the availability of employment and livelihood – has posed a great risk to the conservation of the protected landscape.
