Our forest rangers regularly patrol the forests to prevent illegal activities of the Northwest Panay Peninsula and the northern parts of the Central Panay Mountain Range. In case of success, illegally cut timber is handed over to the authorities (e.g. DENR, police) for confiscation, as are illegally operated chainsaws. Forest monitoring helps also to destroy snares put out for wildlife such as the critically endangered Visayan spotted deer (Rusa alfredi), Visayan warty pig (Sus cebifrons) and rare ground-living birds like the Negros bleeding-heart pigeon (Gallicolumba keayi) or the Red junglefowl (Gallus gallus). For a time, we also had an air gun-for-rice exchange program worth about 40 USD per surrendered air gun.
