Something interesting is brewing in Bayawan City.
Bayawan Mayor Pryde Henry Teves and a group called the Talarak Foundation have signed a deal to establish a zoo for flora and fauna that are endemic to Negros Island.
Dino Gutierrez, president of the Talarak Foundation, said they have chosen Danapa Eco Park, owned by the City of Bayawan, as the site of “Noah’s Ark”.
“This has long been my dream to establish a place where people could see [in Bayawan] endemic animals such as the Negros Spotted Deer, the Visayan Warty Pig, Bleeding Heart Pigeon and other animals,” Mayor Teves said.
The goal of this project, he said, is to repopulate the species of endangered animals in Negros Island, while promoting eco-tourism.
The Talarak Foundation expressed gratitude to Mayor Teves for his trust in them to help in the development and growth of Bayawan City. (Bayawan PIO)
