TUGUEGARAO CITY, CAGAYAN, Philippines — Naidokumento ang mga kolonya ng endemic giant golden-crowned flying fox (Acerodon jubatus) at malaking flying fox (Pteropus vampyrus) sa 10 araw na biodiversity monitoring mission sa kagubatan ng Apayao mula Abril 20 hanggang Abril 30, sabi ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

Sinabi ni Dorothy Cayaba, officer in charge ng DENR Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (Cenro) sa Calanasan, ang mga fruit bat ay natagpuang umuunlad sa liblib, closed-canopy na kagubatan na malayo sa mga tirahan ng tao at mga lugar ng pangangaso.

"Napakalayo nila sa komunidad. Nasa saradong kagubatan sila na nangangailangan ng paglalakad ng halos apat na oras," sabi ni Cayaba noong Biyernes. Aniya, ang ekspedisyon—na isinagawa ng DENR-Cenro Calanasan sa pakikipag-ugnayan sa pamahalaang panlalawigan ng Apayao at munisipalidad ng Flora—ay bahagi ng mga pagsisikap na subaybayan ang mga nanganganib na wildlife sa buong lalawigan.

Sa isang pahayag, sinabi ng DENR-Cenro Calanasan na ang kumpirmadong presensya ng malalaking kolonya ng flying fox ay naging isang pangunahing paghahanap sa konserbasyon, na binibigyang pansin ang kanilang kahalagahan sa ekolohiya. #

PENRO conducts high-tech forest monitoring in Sierra Madre

To help ensure the protection of forests and biodiversity in the Northern Sierra Madre Natural Park, the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) conducted a geospatial mission using advanced drone and LiDAR technology in protected areas.

PENRO carried out the operation in coordination with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Region II.

Using a Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with LiDAR, high-resolution data was gathered on forest conditions, including canopy density, tree structure, and terrain, even in hard-to-reach areas.

Based on the operation, the collected data is expected to help improve the monitoring of forest changes and the identification of threats such as illegal logging and the impacts of climate change.

The information gathered will also support forest protection efforts, reforestation initiatives, and sustainable land management in the area.
