For the first time in 20 years, conservationists and Indigenous Iraya Mangyan patrollers have documented the critically endangered Mindoro bleeding-heart pigeon in the Philippines.

Experts now urge urgent habitat protection as its forest vanishes.

When the lost Mindoro bleeding-heart was finally photographed
MANILA, Philippines – The team set up nine camera traps in the forests of Mindoro last August. They determined the locations of the camera traps based on knowledge of the Mindoro bleeding-heart’s habitat, behavior, and as well as what the Iraya Mangyan knew about the endemic bird’s previous whereabouts. “We combined historical data and then the biophysical and bioclimatic layers of Mindoro Island to create a [species distribution] model,” John Bibar, a researcher from the Center for Conservation Innovation (CCIPH) who was part of the field team, explained. “When we got the result and zoomed in, the area was an ancestral domain in the northern part,” Bibar said. Bibar and the rest of the team spent around two days scouring the forests of Mindoro to install the camera traps. They conducted transect walks and used bioacoustic devices. On the last day of their week-long fieldwork, the team, composed of Manila-based conservationists and Iraya Mangyan patrollers, checked the recorded footage. They had moderate hopes. It was the first time they had deployed the camera traps. Yet, there it was. In the footage from the last camera they checked. The Mindoro bleeding-heart, raising its right wing.

What's your vtuber's fighting style?

Iraya typically fights using her trident, using it to channel her water magic

she will use jets of water to leap in the sky and dive onto her target

despite final fantasy similarities, it is inspired by how foxes leap and dive onto their prey.

A REDD+ program protecting 40,000 hectares of Iraya Mangyan forest in the Philippines has reduced illegal logging and mining through Indigenous patrols. However, full benefits remain uncertain as communities await carbon revenues expected no earlier than 2029.

Can REDD+ protect forests and deliver justice for the Indigenous Iraya Mangyan?
Before sunrise, Bernito Pampilo shoulders a backpack carrying a mobile phone, flashlight and enough food — he hopes — for a day’s patrol through the forests of Puerto Galera in northern Mindoro, about 120 kilometres (75 miles) south of Manila. By around 6 a.m., the 56-year-old Iraya Mangyan patroller and two companions leave their mountain outpost in Aninuan village after praying to Apo Iraya, the creator, for protection. Their route crosses rivers, steep ridges, dense vegetation and deep natural holes known locally as balahaw. “If you walk too quickly, sometimes you won’t see the hole,” Pampilo told Mongabay. “If you fall into it, you could die.” Some patrols continue into the night, forcing the team to cross rivers and climb ridges by flashlight. Mobile apps point them toward assigned coordinates, but not toward the safest path. The forest lies within the 14,661-hectare (36,228-acre) Puerto Galera Biosphere Reserve, designated by UNESCO in 1977. For Pampilo, the work is more than a job. It is part of an effort to protect forests his community has depended on for generations while testing whether an international climate mechanism can deliver lasting Indigenous benefits. Led by the Center for Conservation Innovations Philippines Inc. (CCIPH), the...

The Iraya Mangyan ancestral forestland supports hundreds of plant and animal species, including many that are rare, threatened or found only on the Philippines’ Mindoro Island.

Indigenous Iraya Mangyan elders in the Philippines are racing to record sacred ties to Mindoro’s rare endemic birds.

From guiding weather prep to spiritual healing, this traditional knowledge is now shaping community-led forest conservation.

Elders, conservationists race to record fading sacred ties to Philippines' endemic birds
PUERTO GALERA, Philippines — The forest settles into a gentle rhythm as the trail climbs into the Iraya Mangyan ancestral domain in Puerto Galera town, on the Philippines’ Mindoro Island. Only birdsong breaks the silence as towering trees sway overhead. A clear stream tumbles across the trail over smooth rocks. Ahead walks 43-year-old Lenito Pampilo. Every few steps, he stops — not because the climb is difficult, but because the forest is speaking, he says. He points to an unseen bird in the canopy. Another answers from farther uphill. For him, each call carries meaning. “Our elders taught us these birds,” he tells Mongabay. Pampilo, an Iraya community leader and ecotrail guide, has spent much of his life in these mountains. His knowledge goes beyond recognizing species. “Some birds signal changing weather, warn of danger or carry messages between the living and spirit worlds,” he says. “Trees, streams and ridges also hold stories passed from one generation to the next.” For the Iraya, the forest is a largely unwritten living archive. As elders age and fewer young people learn beside them, the Center for Conservation Innovations Philippines (CCIPH) is helping Iraya knowledge holders document wildlife, medicinal plants and culturally important...
