Set in the middle of a 7 square-kilometer coral reef, the island is home to Amanpulo resort, voted as one of the best island resorts in the world. It has a length of 2.5 kilometers, and measures only 500 meters at its widest point. Diving activities are available, allowing for nice coral viewing and encounters with large turtles and rays.

Thanks for checking. Are you from Negros Island? I've heard of Antulang in Negros and it's an amazing beach too. Please post if you have pics of it.

1st and 2nd pic for today:
Calauit Island Game Preserve and Wildlife Sanctuary

Photos by Dave Deluria

Calauit one of the islands in Coron, north of Palawn Province.

The second set of Coron photos I posted, Calauit is a 3,700 hectare home for grazing giraffes, zebras, about half-dozen of antelope species and other exotic creatures roaming freely on their own island preserve. This is a sparsely occupied island within an hour's flight from Manila but a world away from the paths and byways of civilization.

the highest among the limestone hills of the Mantalongon Range in the town of Dalaguete in the island of Cebu, it is also reputed to be the island's highest point. From the summit, one is rewarded by views of nearby Negros Island and the much smaller resort-island of Badian.

Hey Pocholo here is a better one!

Conservation Breeding Program

The Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF) is best known for the successful captive propagation of Philippine Eagles. Sixteen birds have been produced since 1992 at the Philippine Eagle Center using both cooperative artificial insemination and natural pairing techniques. The captive-bred eagles so far represent the most successful breeding of large tropical raptors in the world.

Activities in captive breeding management include the propagation of Philippine Eagles and other raptors, rearing and rehabilitation of injured birds, feeding and nutrition , cryogenic research, and the development of laboratory techniques. We continually seek innovations in cooperative artificial insemination techniques and natural breeding, rearing of young for imprinting, natural pairing, falconry and hacking, or release of eagles back to protected forests in the wild.

Aside from breeding Philippine Eagles, the Conservation Breeding Program has started venturing in the propagation of other species such as the White-bellied Sea Eagles, Scops Owls, Grey-headed Fishing Eagles, Serpent Eagles, and the Philippine Hawk Eagles.

This is the aerial view! Sorry, I know its only 2 photos a day but I just have the urge to clarify!

Pocholo · February 13th, 2008, 07:00 PM

Thank you for contributing guys but we need to maintain 2 pics per day. I started and set high standard for this thread so please post only your BEST PHOTOS.

Here's the deal, somebody should PM me if he wants to post his pic and we will schedule it. We need to avoid posting more than 2 photos per day. I want to keep this thread organized and tidy.
