Information educatioin caravan

We currently conduct an information education caravan, that is an intensive campaign about the importance of forests as watershed and habitat for wildlife. For now two municipalities are our target, Dumaran and Roxas. Following our holistic approach of conserving an ecosystem for the good of people, flora and fauna (share a place to live) we inform the people about the importance of forest most especially as water drainage for the people but also as habitat for wildlife. By conserving lowland forest, we will protect the habitat of the Palawan Forest Turtle that is affected by habitat conversion. Environmental education is one of the most effective tools in the conservation of wildlife. Help us and share this information with others. Regards, Sabine

Born to be free

Finally 10 of the June 2012 confiscated Palawan Forest Turtles were set free last June 8. We released them with radio transmitters in a proposed protected area and will monitor their movements for one month. This will help us to decide if some or all of the other repatriated turtles can be released in the same area. For our researcher its a tough job because its rainy season and he has to camp in the forest and follow the turtle day and night. But the baby turtles deserve this effort after been a year in captivity. Wish them good luck! Best regards, Sabine
