00:10While monitoring the residents of DNR Region 7 in Alcoy, Cebu,
00:16a bird was found on their island.
00:19And it was also documented what bird it was.
00:24This is the bird that was documented by the residents of DNR Region 7,
00:32which grew in their eyes.
00:34Because their bird is eye-to-eye, it is one of the only birds that can be seen on their island.
00:39This is the Cebu Hawk Owl or Cebu Bubuk.
00:44We have a population and habitat monitoring of priority threatened species
00:50in Barangay Nogas, Alcoy, Cebu.
00:54Nogas, Alcoy is their timberland area.
00:58It is a proposed critical habitat.
01:03Cebu Hawk Owls live in the Cebu mountains.
01:06They like to eat insects, reptiles, small mammals, and birds.
01:11These birds are only medium-sized.
01:14Cebu Hawk Owl, Kamigin Hawk Owl, and Romblon Bubuk
01:19are the largest Cebu Hawk Owl species complex in the Philippines.
01:22But there is a problem with these birds.
01:25Their habitat is being destroyed due to legal and illegal logging and mining.
01:32But there is good news for Cebu Hawk Owls.
01:35Kuya Kim, what is it?
01:43Due to the destruction of their habitat, Cebu Hawk Owls were classified by the IUCN
01:49or International Union for Conservation of Nature as endangered.
01:55But eventually, they became vulnerable from being endangered.
01:58It means that being endangered is not as dangerous as being endangered.
02:04Their number can reach up to 900.
02:07However, let's not be complacent.
02:09Let's take care of them and make sure that they are not saved from the clutches of habitat loss.
