EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a Philippine Tarsier (Tarsius syrichta) is seen hiding and resting on its perching site in a dense secondary tropical rainforest in the Philippines. The Philippine Tarsier, a small primate and one of the world's smallest primates, is native to the islands of the Philippines and is known for its large eyes, long hind limbs, and ability to cling to trees with ease. This image was captured near the Philippine Tarsier Foundation Incorporated (PTFI) Tarsier Research and Development Centre in Corella, Bohol, a sanctuary dedicated to the conservation and study of these fascinating creatures. The centre is located in a typical habitat of undergrowth, providing the perfect environment for the tarsiers to thrive. The Philippine Tarsier is an important part of the biodiversity of the Philippines and plays a significant role in the ecosystem. They are nocturnal animals and spend most of their day hiding and resting in the trees, only coming out at night to hunt for insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates. The history of the Philippine Tarsier dates back to the pre-Spanish era, where they were considered as sacred animals by the indigenous people. However, due to habitat loss and hunting, their population has been declining, making conservation efforts essential. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural habitat of the Philippine Tarsier and other endangered species. It also highlights the beauty and uniqueness of the wildlife found in the Philippines and the need to protect it for future generations to enjoy. In conclusion, this image of a Philippine Tarsier hiding and resting on its perching site is a testament to the natural beauty and diversity of the Philippines. It also emphasizes the importance of conservation efforts to protect these creatures and their habitats.
