The Biodiversity Conservation Society of the Philippines (BCSP) aims to conduct and manage wild life research on Philippine biodiversity. It has been the goal of the organization to improve and
advance biodiversity research and capabilities of the country. It is the aim of the organization to increase appreciation and understanding of Philippine biodiversity. To act on this goal, BCSP
organizes a symposium every year to increase public awareness on the most recent developments in the field of biodiversity conservation.

As a group of environmental biologists who work for BCSP, the head of your organization assigned your team to organize the next biodiversity conservation symposium. As organizers, your task is
to communicate your personal knowledge on the nature of life science by organizing a class symposium, which highlights researches done by both local and foreign scientists that focus on the
protection of plant and animal species. The symposium must also feature researches about advancements in biotechnology that are used to preserved life.

PERFORMANCE TASK 2

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in cooperation with the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) currently embark on a joint-project that aims to involve local communities to
consider alternative livelihood opportunities by utilizing their local plants and resources. The first stage of the project involves key areas in Palawan. Because these areas are rich in coconut trees,
DTI and FDA suggested that the project in this area focus on wine- making as a viable source of livelihood.

You are food technologist who works for FDA who was tasked to create a generic process of using wine that makes use of available plants and/or resources from Palawan. The process
must be properly documented in written report containing the following components:
a. objectives
b. materials to be used
c. procedure (in flow chart form)
d. rationale for the procedure
e. packaging and storage
f. cost of production

Your written output will be evaluated based on the following criteria: content accuracy; use of cost- effective materials; discussion of scientific principles; effectiveness and efficiency of
