Rare, endemic and newly discovered species of PanaySee also our page about recently discovered taxa and new distributional recordsThe last significant stands of primary, low elevation
rainforest in the biogeographic region of the West
Visayas, located on the northwestern peninsula of Panay,
is habitat of a range of highly endangered, partly
endemic species of frogs, reptiles, birds and mammals.
It is one of the hotspots with the highest conservation
priorities in the world, both in terms of the number of
endangered flora and fauna per unit area, and the degree
of threat these species confront. Philippine
biodiversity per unit area is globally unsurpassed. |
