- Animal Info - Philippine Spotted Deer
The Philippine spotted deer is a small deer not much larger than some dogs, being about 80 cm (2.6') tall at the shoulder. Classified as endangered, a survey in 1991 found that it survived in small populations only on Panay and Negros and thus has been extirpated over 95% of its former range which is throughout the Visayan Islands.

- Butaan Project
Because of Polillo's conservation importance, a full-time wildlife warden or 'Ecology Steward', Vicente 'Enteng' Yngente, the first in the Philippines, was employed in 1997 under the auspices of the PESP devised by Fauna and Flora International and local wildlife biologists, with sponsorship assistance from the North of England Zoological Society and other international conservation agencies. Levels of hunting and deforestation have undoubtedly been reduced and local public awareness of and interest in conservation of the islands wildlife and forests have greatly increased due to his efforts. Without the establishment of the PESP, and the hardwork, dedication and expertise of Enteng, this project would not have been possible. The species guide (amphibians, birds, mammals, and reptiles) is outstanding.
