00:00This is an amazing story about birds.
00:04Lapapa Chea is the only bird sanctuary in Metro Manila.
00:08Many people don't know that birdwatching is free here.
00:12Let's take a look at the birds in the city.
00:17In the first three months of the COVID-19 lockdown,
00:20the air quality in Metro Manila improved a lot.
00:24The pollution from cars and industries was reduced.
00:28But due to business as usual,
00:31the polluted air returned.
00:34It's a good thing that there's still a small area in Metro Manila
00:37that helps improve the air quality.
00:40One of them is the Las Piñas-Parañaque Critical Habitat and Ecotourism Area
00:45or Lapapa Chea.
00:47More than 30 hectares of Lapapa Chea is covered by mangrove forest.
00:52It's only been a few months and it's summer again.
00:54And because of the heat, migratory birds are expected to arrive.
00:59Lapapa Chea is the only bird sanctuary in Metro Manila.
01:04Many people don't know that birdwatching is free here.
01:08There's a birdwatching station called D.E.N.R. inside the park.
01:11If you happen to see different kinds of birds,
01:15you can come here.
01:16But you have to wake up early.
01:19At present, there are 82 wild bird species.
01:23Of these, 41 are migratory.
01:26Not only humans, but also animals benefit from this urban forest.
01:31It's a protection from typhoons,
01:33a water repellent,
01:34and a filter for polluted air.
01:37The least that we can do
01:38is to keep the place clean and tidy.
