Rainforestation Farming - the training will address the conservation, protection and restoration of the biodiversity of the Philippine rainforest.
International Seminar-Workshop on Tropical Ecology - this yearly seminar workshop is organized by the Institute of Tropical Ecology, Leyte State University, Philippines, University of Hohemheim, Germany, University of Satya Wacana, Indonesia and University of Halle, Germany.
Scuba Diving - this training facilities learning of the biota in marine ecosystem and their interrelationships with each other and their physical environment. It will help develop a deeper appreciation of the beauty and functionality of marine ecosystems which, in turn, strengthens their understanding of the need to protect and conserve marine habitats.
Natural Resource Management and Conservation - the training will focus on the rehabilitation of degraded lands (including rainforestation), erosion control, integrated soil management and biodiversity assessment and conservation.
Ecological Impact of Mining Activities - the seminar will focus on the impacts mining/minerals processing on the air, water and soil resources as well as on human health.
Coastal Resource Management - the training will address the conservation, protection and restoration of coastal habitats.
Soil Waste Management - the training will focus on the proper collection and household and agricultural waste.

The Institute of Tropical Ecology was approved by the ViSCA Board of Trustees in May 1998 to undertake and promote ecological education, research and extension in the Visayas. It is task to sustain and continue the ecological and environmental research and development activities of the university.

Vision

A center of excellence in tropical ecology to serve as an instrument for the attainment of a balanced environment for the present and future generations.

Mission

Attainment of the well-being of the people in the Visayas through effective and highly developed resources and the generation, dissemination and application of relevant knowledge and technology in tropical ecology.

Objectives

To produce quality manpower in tropical ecology.
To generate appropriate knowledge and technologies for the sustainable management of natural resources.
To disseminate appropriate and sustainable technologies for the well being of farmer and fisherfolk.
To establish lasting linkages and cooperation with local, national, and international institutions and agencies involved in sustainable management of natural resources in tropical ecology.
To establish and maintain development-oriented and income-generating projects as model in resource management and entrepreneurship.
