00:00This is an amazing story about birds.

00:04Lapapa Chea is the only bird sanctuary in Metro Manila.

00:08Many people don't know that birdwatching is free here.

00:12Let's take a look at the birds in the city.

00:17In the first three months of the COVID-19 lockdown,

00:20the air quality in Metro Manila improved a lot.

00:24The pollution from cars and industries was reduced.

00:28But due to business as usual,

00:31the polluted air returned.

00:34It's a good thing that there's still a small area in Metro Manila

00:37that helps improve the air quality.

00:40One of them is the Las Piñas-Parañaque Critical Habitat and Ecotourism Area

00:45or Lapapa Chea.

00:47More than 30 hectares of Lapapa Chea is covered by mangrove forest.

00:52It's only been a few months and it's summer again.

00:54And because of the heat, migratory birds are expected to arrive.

00:59Lapapa Chea is the only bird sanctuary in Metro Manila.

01:04Many people don't know that birdwatching is free here.

01:08There's a birdwatching station called D.E.N.R. inside the park.

01:11If you happen to see different kinds of birds,

01:15you can come here.

01:16But you have to wake up early.

01:19At present, there are 82 wild bird species.

01:23Of these, 41 are migratory.

01:26Not only humans, but also animals benefit from this urban forest.

01:31It's a protection from typhoons,

01:33a water repellent,

01:34and a filter for polluted air.

01:37The least that we can do

01:38is to keep the place clean and tidy.
