💚 We have huge admiration for this young girl! We need more advocates for endangered species and for nature, it doesn't matter how old or young they are.

YOUNG CONSERVATIONIST🐦

At just nine years old, Gail Lim has already spent two years helping raise awareness and support for one of Cebu’s rarest birds.

Gail first learned about the Cebu Flowerpecker when she was seven. Scientifically known as Dicaeum quadricolor, the bird is found naturally only in Cebu and is classified as Critically Endangered.

After learning how threatened the species had become, Gail told her father that she wanted to do something for a bird living on the same island she called home.

Her family later brought her to the Nug-as Forest in Alcoy, where she met local forest wardens protecting one of the Cebu Flowerpecker’s remaining habitats. The wardens patrol the forest, plant trees and help safeguard the wildlife that still depends on it.

With support from her parents, Gail began working with Cebuano artists, helping organize art workshops, creating custom merchandise and talking to other young people about the Cebu Flowerpecker and wildlife conservation.

Those efforts eventually raised ₱20,000, which Gail donated to the Nug-as Forest Wardens of KMYLBNA, the community protectors helping guard the species’ largest remaining habitat in Alcoy.

Her work also became part of Project Wings and Wonders, an initiative combining art and conservation to introduce more children to Cebu’s native wildlife while supporting those working on the ground to protect it.

The Cebu Flowerpecker has a remarkable history of its own. After decades without a confirmed record and extensive forest loss across Cebu, the species was rediscovered near Tabunan in 1992. More than three decades later, its survival remains closely tied to the protection of the island’s remaining forests.

Gail was only seven when she decided she wanted to help.

Two years later, that concern has already supported the people protecting the Cebu Flowerpecker and introduced more young people to a species found nowhere else on Earth.

Well done, Gail. May your story inspire more young people to care for and protect our wildlife. 💙

Scientists are calling on cities to recognize urban forests as essential infrastructure—just like roads, utilities, and public transit.

Why? Because trees work hard for the places we call home. They cool neighborhoods, help manage stormwater, improve air quality, support wildlife, and create healthier spaces for people to gather, connect, and thrive.

💚 Travel is exciting, but it can also be incredibly overwhelming. Unfamiliar sounds, busy ports/airports, changing routines, and crowded streets can leave anyone mentally exhausted.

For autistic travellers, ADHDers, and those with AuDHD, these sensory experiences and transitions affect differently. If you have recently received a diagnosis, navigating these travel feelings might finally make sense.

At Moalboal Eco Lodge, we believe there is no right or wrong way to travel. The best trip is the one that works for your brain, your energy and your own pace. We have written a few tips to help make travel a little easier

🐾 Elsa was spayed today!

At the monthly Dogs of Moalboal Spay & Neuter clinic, we sponsored this sweet girl named Elsa.

3 weeks ago we sprayed another female in her house; they are the last females of a small village we've been helping.

Helping our community to be free from unwanted puppies, helping dogs become healthier through spaying and mange-parasite medication, makes everyone happy.

Elsa will continue to be a fun-loving, happy dog without the usual worries unspayed females endure. This is our gift to her, and to the village where she lives.

Open Air Shower keeping you close to nature

🌿 An outdoor shower doesn't mean giving up your privacy. It means looking up to blue skies, listening to birdsong, and watching the trees sway while you shower in your own private space.

💚 It's one of those little experiences that guests often tell us they miss most after they leave.

🦅 The beautiful Philippine Eagle is considered to be the world's most powerful. 😁 How much do you know about this endemic beauty?

🦅 The 7 Most Powerful Eagles in the World

Eagles are among the most formidable birds of prey, combining razor-sharp talons, exceptional eyesight, immense strength, and incredible aerial hunting skills. These seven species are widely recognized for their power, size, and ability to capture surprisingly large prey.

1. Philippine Eagle
Often considered the world's most powerful eagle relative to its size. Endemic to the Philippines, it possesses massive talons and an enormous beak capable of hunting monkeys, flying lemurs, snakes, and large birds within dense rainforest.

2. Harpy Eagle
One of the heaviest and strongest eagles on Earth. Native to Central and South America, it uses crushing talons—the largest of any living eagle—to seize sloths, monkeys, and other tree-dwelling mammals.

3. Steller's Sea Eagle
Among the largest eagles in the world, reaching wingspans of over 8 feet (2.5 meters). Found in northeastern Asia, it specializes in catching salmon and other large fish but also scavenges mammals and birds.

4. Martial Eagle
Africa's largest eagle and one of its most powerful aerial predators. It is capable of taking prey as large as young antelope, monitor lizards, jackals, and monkeys.

5. Crowned Eagle
Known as Africa's "leopard of the sky," this eagle possesses incredible grip strength and regularly hunts monkeys, hyraxes, and other mammals heavier than itself.

6. Golden Eagle
One of the most widespread eagle species, found across North America, Europe, and Asia. It is an agile hunter capable of catching rabbits, foxes, marmots, and even young deer under the right conditions.

7. Bald Eagle
The national bird of the United States and one of North America's largest raptors. Although famous for catching fish, it is also an opportunistic hunter and scavenger that feeds on waterfowl, small mammals, and carrion.
