The Philippines, endowed with lush and rich tropical jungle boasts of several vertebrate species such as birds, only found in the country. Palawan, dubbed as the last frontier in the Philippines is being abused and exploited as human population spreads wide within forest boundaries. Now gaining the reputation as the "last of the last frontiers of the Philippines", the Sierra Madre mountain range in the Northern Philippines has been protected by laws for poachers, illegal hunters, miners and loggers.
Let us support conservation efforts!
