Wetland monitors record 1,504 birds

A total of 1,504 individual birds from 47 species of forest and waterbirds were recorded at the Las Piñas Parañaque Wetland Park during the 2nd Quarter Bird Monitoring conducted by the Protected Area Management Office of the LPPWP last 15 April.

Volunteers from the DENR Metropolitan Environmental Office-South and CENRO Parañaque, as well as interns from Our Lady of Fatima University, participated in the bird monitoring, an important part of LPPWP’s conservation because it serves as a basis for understanding the state of biodiversity in the area.

Regular observation and recording of changes in the number and type of birds help indicate the health of the wetland ecosystem and in developing more appropriate conservation measures, especially in protecting migratory and resident bird species that rely on the LPPWP as their habitat and resting place.
