Seemingly insignificant species of bugs, drab birds, frogs or worms do not often make the front pages of the New York Times. We might perceive these species as being insignificant and not worthy of listing or protection on the Endangered Species Act. However, these species may be very important and function as indicator species to ecosystem health or our own health or as keystone species that are the foundation of whole complex ecosystems.These drab, small or ugly species are often overshadowed by the larger, cuddlier and prettier flagship species. Flagship species are often used to raise awareness for nature conservation because they are attractive but this focus can translate into narrow conservation initiatives and studies that forget the others and risk them to extinction.However, a

For the longest time, I had been wanting to adopt a pawikan or sea turtle. It took quite a while for me to find the contact number of the Pawikan Conservation Center in Morong, Bataan. And when I finally did, they said there were no pawikan scheduled to hatch yesterday. But they also told me that if it was warm and sunny, some of the turtles would hatch earlier than expected.Since it's quite far, and I didn't want to risk disappointment, I decided to watch the longest Holy Week procession in the country in Baliuag, Bulacan in the evening. But I got a surprise text yesterday morning from the Pawikan Center saying that sea turtles had just hatched the night before and were ready for adoption. Since it's difficult to time a visit when there are hatchlings, I decided to rush there no questions

An interesting case: A project in South Africa run by an animal conservation charity is trying to save the South China Tiger by creating an environment where they can learn to hunt, and other survival skills. A laudable cause, but where it gets controversial is that in order for the tigers to learn hunting and other predatory skills, they are provided with live animals to hunt and kill, from chickens for the tiger cubs to blesbok, a kind of antelope, for the adults. The SPCA (society for the prevention of cruelty to animals) is appalled at such a practice and is howling their righteous indignation. “It is a spurious argument that carnivores need to be fed animals, live. Not in captivity they don’t!,” the SPCA, which regards the practice as cruel, says. And you thought all roads
