Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary is the only mountain range heritage site among the six UNESCO World Heritage Sites found in the Philippines. It is the largest pygmy ‘bonsai’ forest rich with biodiversity of endangered, endemic and rare species of flora and fauna that attract not only tourists but also foreign researchers. However, both tourism and research could threaten the sanctuary’s conservation if not managed well. Through this study, the Mount Hamiguitan’s different flora and fauna species, their habitat, and its distribution can be located on the map while doing exploration using a location-based mobile application named as HAGO (Hamiguitan-Go). A mountain explorer who will use the HAGO APP will act as a PS (Participatory Sensing) using his/her smartphone’s built-in GPS, internet and camera to geotag the captured plant he/she encountered while hiking. Once verified, the geotagged picture and its information details are stored in an online repository system of plants. The APP users can look into the lists of plants they want to explore and locate on the map using geo-location mapping. The program designed and developed in this study have only undergone simulation testing. Further developments and several on-site experiments must be conducted to achieve a fully-functional IoT system.
