00:00If you are walking on a tree or in a sunny place,
00:03snakes are one of the things we avoid.
00:07But did you know that there is an outdoor activity
00:09where the goal is to look for and observe reptiles and amphibians?
00:14This is perfect for 2025 because it's the year of the snake.
00:22We Filipinos are very afraid of snakes.
00:25And because of the fear, the poor snake is often killed.
00:32The old belief in these animals
00:35is one of the motivators of Marvin Sarmiento,
00:39a wildlife biologist at Rommelkruis.
00:42Wildlife photographer who started the so-called Herping Tour.
00:48Herping Tour is actually documenting and discovering
00:51species that others thought were extinct.
00:54It is October 15, 2022.
00:58So we finally got the third specimen of the weberi.
01:07The weather is with torrential rain and thunderstorm
01:14because of the ongoing typhoon at the north.
01:19So I think the weather contributes to finding this specimen.
01:27Let's help wildlife conservation through ecotourism.
01:31Different kinds of reptiles and amphibians
01:34can be encountered in a Herping Tour.
01:37Some of them are venomous.
01:40Watch out.
01:41If you are not afraid of snakes
01:43and you are looking for a different extreme activity,
01:45you can try the Herping Tour
01:48where you will find snakes.
01:51But the question is,
01:53who will enter the territory of snakes?
01:58The Palawan Wildlife Expedition
02:00was the first to offer a Herping Tour in the Philippines.
02:04And not only Filipinos are exploring the Palawan,
02:08but also foreigners.
02:13Before we proceed, we usually orient.
02:16Of course, safety is also included.
02:18When we do a Herping Tour, the team is complete.
02:20We do not allow the client to be in danger.
02:26Even though the Herping Tour is enjoyable,
02:28it is an educational activity for all of us.
02:34A way to get to know
02:36and understand the secrets of nature.
