In observance of World Migratory Bird Day on May 10, the Iloilo Provincial Government has issued an urgent appeal to the public to stop the illegal capture and disturbance of migratory birds, emphasizing their vital role in biodiversity and ecosystem health. The Provincial Government Environment and Natural Resources Office (PGENRO) warned that wetlands across Iloilo, which serve as seasonal habitats for migratory birds, are increasingly at risk due to human activities such as hunting and habitat disruption.
