On April 6โ8, 2026, the Bachelor of Science in Biology students conducted a three-day fieldwork activity in Imugan, Santa Fe, Nueva Vizcaya, a recognized upland community known for its rich forest ecosystems and diverse flora and fauna. The activity aimed to strengthen studentsโ competencies in environmental assessment, biodiversity documentation, and ecological observation through actual field exposure. During the fieldwork, students conducted habitat surveys, identified species of selected plant, fungi, and animal groups, and performed ecological profiling of the area using standard scientific methods. They also practiced proper field techniques such as transect establishment, specimen recording, and ethical handling of biological resources. ๐ฟ๐
