Dr. Juan Carlos is recognized for his superior contributions in biodiversity research and conservation which led to the discovery of new species of vertebrates including Gallirallus calayensis and Platymantis diesmosi. He implemented researches that led to the establishment of localized conservation programs for key areas in the Philippines (i.e., South Luzon, Polillo, Cebu and Mindoro) regarded to be global hotspots for biological diversity in collaboration with other conservation organizations across the world; and for his involvement in the advancement of conservation initiatives and expansion of applications of biological conservation focused on preserving the exceptionally rich biological diversity of the country.
