Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 18) A conservation group called for urgent action on a blaze at the Marikina watershed, which has burned around ten hectares of land over the past month.
The Masungi Georeserve Foundation said several threatened species of trees and wildlife have been identified to be living in the watershed. These include 32 species of trees, 26 species of birds, two species of amphibians, and one volant mammal, or a mammal with land and aerial habitats. The Upper Marikina River Basin Protected Landscape has an estimate of around 20% of forest cover left despite its protected status, Masungi Georeserve Foundation Trustee and Advocacy Officer Billie Dumaliang told CNN Philippines.
