The CBCPV (Comparative Biogeography and Conservation of Philippine Vertebrates) project was established in 2005 with the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement between the Philippine Department of Natural Resources and the University of Kansas Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center. It consists of a collaborative working group of academic scientists, lay persons, government personnel, and non-government organization conservationists dedicated to enhanced understanding of the evolution and conservation of Philippine land vertebrate diversity.
