Are there any public or private sources of LIDAR data for the San Paul river in Palawan (Philippines)? Searching online did not lead me to any sources, and I am unsure how the commercial world of LIDAR works. I'm speleo and I would like to know this area better.

The Philippine government with the aid of the UN has been doing LiDAR mapping of the major river basins. Here's a press release:
It appears the effort is part of the Philippines DREAM project (for disaster risk/assessment):

The University of the Philippines Los Banos has a page for LiDAR mapping of the Palawan province.

1I don't think you need to delete the question on GIS. Just add a comment to your question pointing back to this answer. Commented Feb 17, 2015 at 21:10

AFAK, the UN is not involved in the DREAM project. It's purely funded by the national government. dream.upd.edu.ph/about-us Or is the UN offering technical help? A reference would be nice :)– R.K.Commented Aug 26, 2015 at 12:40
