Philippine tarsier spotted in Tacloban City for the first time

The night surveys, the research team added, are part of their ongoing population study on the primates which stemmed from the reports of its sightings in the neighboring municipalities in Tacloban despite being endemic in Mindanao, Bohol, Samar, and Leyte.

“The presence of the Philippine tarsier in Tacloban City’s forests highlights the role of the city as a key biodiversity area. The presence of tarsiers and other endemic species should be taken into account in the city’s land use plans, particularly in terms of protecting the areas where the tarsiers live,” the UPTVC said in a statement.

The UPTVC said it secured prior informed consent from the Tacloban City Environment Office and concerned local barangays and a Gratuitous Permit from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Region 8 before conducting the field survey.

Tarsiers time so many going in the streets boundary of Iligan and Cotabato city when I am going home.

Wow. Nice.

What's the chance that they have been driven away from their usual habitats that they are now in the city?

Sorry naman. Nakita ko tweet ng GMA, akala ko yung pic si Arnold Clavio 😂
