THE Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) recently released back to the wild a Philippine Tarsier in Lakewood, Zamboanga del Sur.
Rosevirico Tan, DENR regional information officer, said the release of the Philippine Tarsier last week was spearheaded by the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office of Guipos, Zamboanga del Sur.
Tan said the tarsier was retrieved after a Facebook post by Roel Logronio of Kaumahan B, Kumalarang, Zamboanga del Sur, seeking help for the tarsier that he spotted in Gatub, Lakewood while tending his farmland last October 2, 2020.
He said the tarsier was released back to the wild after it was found healthy and without any injury by the Cenro Guipos personnel.
Meanwhile, the DENR advised the public to report sightings of wildlife injuries to their nearest Cenro or message DENR Zamboanga Peninsula on Facebook for proper action. (VoxPop Zamboanga)
