    Hope the efforts and supports done in this area shall also be done in Northwest Panay Peninsula National Park which is home for the critically endangered species like the Negros bleeding heart dove Gallicolumba keayi, the Visayan warty pigs, Walden's Hornbill and may more. Currently we at www.PhilinCon.org and some partners are protecting its ABUNDANT wildlife from poachers and environmental degradation like kaingin etc. Please visit us and see what can you help for its success and sustainability.
