00:00BATMAN VERSUS SPIDER-MAN
00:09BATMAN VERSUS SPIDER-MAN
00:17Creatures that are already at the critical level of being a monster
00:20BATMAN VERSUS SPIDER-MAN
00:29You know, this one's around 2 to 3 kilograms
00:32It's so small, yet it's subjected to this kind of abuse
00:38and pain, and murder
00:41BATMAN VERSUS SPIDER-MAN
00:57As you can see, when we released it, it didn't move
01:01It played dead, which is one of the instincts or behavior of a wild animal
01:07BATMAN VERSUS SPIDER-MAN
01:23In the Philippines, many animals are already at the critical code
01:28BATMAN VERSUS SPIDER-MAN
01:36BATMAN VERSUS SPIDER-MAN
01:50BATMAN VERSUS SPIDER-MAN
02:12BATMAN VERSUS SPIDER-MAN
02:29There's a king that could possibly lose his throne
02:33The Philippine Eagle
02:39It has an area of 11,000 hectares
02:46In this part of the forest, his son lives
02:51They believe that the Philippine Eagles call for their mom
02:57because they're hungry
03:01Every two years, the Philippine Eagle can give birth
03:07After 4 to 5 months, it's ready to fly
03:17Even though it can't fly yet, a sound breaks the silence
03:23BATMAN VERSUS SPIDER-MAN
03:37A Philippine Eagle was rescued in Compostela Valley
03:41He is Mangayon
03:45The man saw a hole in his backpack
03:51They tried to cure him, but it was too late
03:57Mangayon died
04:02According to the Philippine Eagle Foundation,
04:06there are only 400 pairs left in the wild
04:12Because of the high number of Philippine Eagles,
04:17it's hard for them to be lost on a critical level
04:23When the number of an animal in the wild is about to run out,
04:28it's called critically endangered
04:34In the Philippines, there are a lot of animals that are already Code Critical
04:45Visayan Spotted Deer or Lagsaw
04:48It's estimated that there are only 700 pairs left in the wild
04:52The so-called reason for the decline of their number
04:57is the depletion of the forest where they live
05:02and the hunt for them to eat
05:07In a facility in Negros, they are trying to multiply
05:14I am blessed to be able to help in the regular check-up
05:18of critically endangered animals
05:22We don't have to use a tranquilizer
05:27because our procedure is simple
05:31We just need to catch them and transfer them to a nearby enclosure
05:58His body is hot because of the water
06:13When we released him, he didn't move
06:17He played dead, which is one of the instincts or behavior of a wild animal
06:25But when he saw that it's safe, he ran
06:29That was scary
06:31Because these animals are high-strung
06:34We're down with one, one more to go
06:46His body is hot
06:49We're down with one, one more to go
07:04We have a procedure called ear tagging
07:09It's a form of identification
07:11to find out who their parents are
07:15and how many generations they have
07:18That's it!
07:26That's good
07:29Don't rush it
07:34These deer are so cute
07:37Everybody in this organization
07:40wishes that someday they'll be released back into the wild
07:45In the fear of being caught and killed
07:47it's rare to see people in the wild
07:53But in 2019
07:55someone visited a house in Negros Occidental
07:59It seems like someone is looking for something outside the house
08:02Since then, he always wanders around the area
08:08There are also occasions
08:10when the deer are with the goats
08:14The deer used to live in this house
08:18If you're not here yet, they're already here
08:21That's why they say
08:23the deer should be removed
08:26But it's not possible
08:27because this house belongs to them
08:29This area
08:36Some of the deer here
08:38are ready to return to the wild
08:41The problem is
08:43there's not enough space for them to be released
08:47The process of reintroducing to the species
08:51needs to be studied
08:53It's not just about population count
08:57What's the number?
08:58What's the area?
09:00What's the situation?
09:01But all of this information
09:04needs to be considered for this one
09:08Until the number of deer in the wild increases
09:12they will remain in the Code Critical
09:19This pangolin or bat
09:22wanders around the area
09:23to look for food
09:27When it feels like it's about to rain
09:34Suddenly, it flutters
09:38Their armor is sharp
09:41When it flutters fast
09:44It's an effective way for pangolins
09:46to escape from the enemy
09:51But these sharpness
09:53is also the reason why they're in the Code Critical
10:03In Valenzuela City
10:04people were surprised
10:06because it was the first time they saw a pangolin
10:09So they put it in the bathroom
10:13The so-called pangolin
10:14was immediately counted
10:16and brought to the Biodiversity Management Bureau
10:23It could be a victim of poaching
10:25and illegal wildlife trade
10:35This is the evidence
10:37as to why pangolins are now in the Code Critical
10:42In each pangolin calisthenics
10:44almost 1,000 kilos
10:46were confiscated from poachers
10:51One kilo of calisthenics
10:53came from 10 pangolins
11:01If Doc Nielsen's discovery in Valenzuela is true
11:03it's a different story for the pangolins
11:05in the Biodiversity Management Bureau
11:10These are our pangolins
11:13For them to get the skills
11:15they need to open the doors one by one
11:17These calisthenics
11:19if they're still alive
11:20they will die out of pain
11:22There!
11:23They're so big!
11:24Look at this!
11:25A container full of pangolins
11:27put inside
11:30Look at this
11:32Oh my God!
11:33Wow!
11:34So heavy!
11:35So huge!
11:38These pangolins
11:39were confiscated
11:40without scales
11:41but they still have their flesh
11:43just like this
11:45Maybe
11:46to sell their flesh
11:48This one's around
11:492 to 3 kilograms
11:50It's so small
11:52and yet it was subjected
11:53to this kind of abuse
11:56and pain
11:58and murder
12:02PANGOLIN CONFISCATION
12:05Most pangolins
12:06are either killed
12:07or killed
12:08by the confiscated pangolins
12:11That's why the authorities
12:13like the
12:14Palawan Council for Sustainable Development
12:16or PCSD
12:18are strict with pangolins
12:19when it comes to poaching
12:23As of now
12:24it's not known
12:25how many pangolins
12:26are still alive
12:27in their natural habitat
12:31PANGOLIN CONFISCATION
12:36Even animals
12:37that fly
12:38and can't reach
12:39there's no escape
12:50When the sun rises
12:51from this island
12:53the pangolins
12:54will cross
12:55to look for food
12:58Nothing yet
13:00The pangolins
13:01are a bit
13:02lazy
13:03right now
13:04or
13:05they're just in a hurry
13:06to cross the mainland
13:08because
13:09it's breeding season
13:11Suddenly
13:13There it is!
13:15Woohoo!
13:18There are around
13:19600 to more than
13:201,000 pangolins
13:21in the wild
13:24Many of them
13:25are caught
13:26as pets
13:29PANGOLIN CONFISCATION
13:33To make it easier
13:34there's a facility
13:35where the pangolins
13:36are bred
13:38It's one of the pangolins
13:39foundations
13:40that monitors
13:41their numbers
13:42in the wild
13:48But
13:49not all of the animals
13:50that are included
13:51in the Code Critical
13:52are monitored
13:54Just like
13:55the Philippine Hanging Parrot
13:56or Pulasisi
14:00It will go around
14:01their nest
14:11Pulasisi takes care of it
14:12because
14:13it's afraid
14:14that it won't
14:15see it again
14:16The pangolins
14:17take care of it
14:18and become their friends
14:20And they have certain
14:21beliefs
14:22about the animals
14:23that they catch
14:24and their environment
14:26After the eruption
14:27of Mount Pinatubo
14:29the pangolins
14:30lost their
14:31beautiful birds
14:32It's still young
14:33It's almost a year old
14:35How did you catch it?
14:36From a tree
14:37I saw it
14:39Try to take care of it
14:40It's a beautiful bird
14:42Pulasisi is used
14:43to humans
14:44and other animals
14:48So there's a possibility
14:49that it won't return
14:50to the wild
14:51because of imprinting
15:00Even the
15:01fattest Philippine Crocodile
15:03won't have a chance
15:05to reach the shores
15:07because
15:08they are already
15:09at a critical level
15:12It's one of the
15:13most critically
15:14endangered reptiles
15:15in the Philippines
15:22Just like an egg
15:23there's something
15:24around them
15:25that's dangerous
15:30There's a bite
15:31There's a bite
15:32Oh no
15:33This is the
15:34situation
15:35that they complain
15:36that ants
15:37are already
15:38entering
15:39their eggs
15:40in their nests
15:45In order to
15:46catch them
15:47they transfer them
15:48to a container
15:49that will be
15:50an alternative
15:51nest
15:53After a few days
15:54they slowly
15:55start to
15:56settle
15:57in their nests
16:08We're here
16:09at the B&B
16:10and we're going
16:11to witness
16:12how the Philippine
16:13Crocodiles
16:14from Germany
16:15are caught
16:19It can lift
16:20half of its body
16:24Girl
16:26Girl
16:27Girl
16:29What a beautiful name
16:30Alright
16:35Even if it's small
16:36the bite
16:37still has
16:38a strong effect
16:39on the human skin
16:47It's a king
16:53We got them
16:54safely now
16:55and
16:56it's time
16:58They will be brought
16:59to their temporary
17:00shelter in Tarlac
17:15These three
17:16Philippine Crocodiles
17:17have been born
17:18in the Colón Zoo
17:20and
17:21the parents have been
17:22loaned to us
17:23by the Philippines
17:24for conservation breeding
17:25The Crocodylus Porosus
17:26Philippines Incorporated
17:28is a group
17:29that helps
17:30in the conservation
17:31of the Bokarot
17:32or Philippine Crocodile
17:33in the country
17:36The first Philippine
17:37Crocodile Conservation
17:38Breeding was started
17:39in Europe
17:40in 2012
17:43Its goal is
17:44to breed
17:45Bokarot
17:46known as
17:47one of the
17:48rarest crocodiles
17:49in the world
17:51because
17:52Bokarot
17:53is only
17:54100 individuals
17:55in the wild
17:59It's difficult
18:00to reach
18:01and
18:02the mountain
18:03is steep
18:04It's not easy
18:05for the hunters
18:06to reach
18:07the territory
18:08of Tamaraw
18:10Especially
18:11when there was
18:12a pandemic
18:14This is where
18:15the hunters
18:16hide
18:23The Tamaraw Rangers
18:24are looking
18:25for the crocodile
18:26to hunt
18:27the crocodile
18:28to hunt
18:29Tamaraw

18:39Tamaraw
18:40Tamaraw
18:41In the last
18:42count
18:43there were
18:44more than
18:45400 Tamaraw
18:46in Mt. Iglit
18:47Baco
18:48Natural Park
18:49They were victims
18:50of poaching
18:51their meat and habitat loss.
18:58Animals have their own role in nature
19:01that is included in the Code Critical.
19:04Pollinators,
19:06Insect pest controllers,
19:08Soil engineers,
19:09all of whom benefit us humans.
19:13But both have the same reasons
19:15for their negligence in the wild.
19:18Destruction of their habitat,
19:21poaching,
19:22illegal wildlife trade,
19:24and climate change
19:25are all done by us humans.
19:29Animals in the Critically Endangered Category
19:31are put in a critical position.
19:35If we compare,
19:36just like in hospitals,
19:38these animals are already in the Emergency and Intensive Care Unit.
19:43The simple planting of native and endemic trees
19:46is one way
19:47to revive their natural habitat.
19:51Let's not wait for us to see them in a book.
