	The Protected Landscape Approach
		The National Museum has undertaken extensive studies on the flora of Batanes and has found that numerous indigenous species are shared with the Babuyanes Islands (south of Batanes), Lan Yu and Lu Tao Islands of southern Taiwan and the Riyuku Islands of south-western Japan (Madulid and Agoo, 2001).
		The unique flora of Batanes are vulnerable to extinction because of their small population, restricted genetic diversity, narrow ranges prior to human colonization, lack of adaptability to change, or because of human disturbance such as deforestation and fire, introduction of grazing animals, cultivation, and introduction of weedy plants.
		All the mechanisms to preserve the nature and culture of Batanes are in place, and both the provincial government and the local population are committed to the preservation of their natural and cultural heritage.
