Beautiful Philippine native trees or plants



Some trees I intend to put in my dream nature park/ecogarden which will ONLY present native flora and fauna of the Philippines, something that would promote the native biodiversity of the Philippines.
A recreational place where one can enjoy nature and where the flora & fauna of the Philippines can be showcased.

Study Philippine bird species



What are the flowers visited of this species?
How many eggs does it lay? What are its predator? Lifespan? Social behavior? Mating behavior? Mating season? Parental care? Sunbirds? 

   It depresses me to find out that there are no available information on the ecology of most Philippine birds. After a casual conversation with an expert and respected ornithologist, Prof. Juan Carlos, I realized the gloomy state of Philippine wildlife.

            Since 2007 I had been looking for available data about the ecology (Food ecology) of many Philippine birds. Today, Prof J.C. had set me free from this endless search in the net for this information I was yearning for.

"There are no studies yet conducted on the ecology of most Philippine bird species."
