One Juvenile Philippine Long-tailed Macaque or Philippine Monkey (๐๐ข๐ค๐ข๐ค๐ข ๐ง๐ข๐ด๐ค๐ช๐ค๐ถ๐ญ๐ข๐ณ๐ช๐ด ๐ด๐ด๐ฑ. ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ญ๐ช๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ด๐ช๐ด) was turned over by JayMark Orubia of Sitio Leba Bgy.Liminangcong, Taytay, Palawan, to the PCSDS-Taytay Wildlife Trafficking Monitoring Officer on June 28, 2022.
The said monkey was found by Mr. Orubia and his peers crying while being trapped in a net together with its dead mother in a โSlash-and-Burnโ or โKainginโ area. Out of pity for the monkeyโs unfortunate situation, Mr. Orubia took the wildlife species into their homes to take care of it. His parents informed the PCSDS WTMO-Liminangcong staff about what transpired, and the latter immediately conducted a verification and rescue operation of said wildlife species. The wildlife species is now being taken care of said WTMO-Taytay staff for its protection and rehabilitation.
The Philippine Long-tailed Macaque or Philippine Monkey is listed as an โEndangered Speciesโ under PCSD Resolution No. 15-521.
