A September 2026 study published in Bird Conservation International warns that approved mining concessions overlap with 41% of highly suitable nesting habitat and 65% of core areas in eastern Mindanao, Philippines. Only 35% of identified suitable habitat falls within protected areas, while Indigenous ancestral domains overlap with 65% of core high-quality nesting habitat. The research synthesizes nearly four decades of field observations, GPS tracking, and satellite data to highlight conservation priorities before habitat loss occurs.

Key points

• Approved mining concessions overlap with 41% of highly suitable nesting habitat and 65% of core areas in eastern Mindanao, Philippines.
• Only 35% of identified suitable habitat falls within protected areas, while Indigenous ancestral domains overlap with 65% of core high-quality nesting habitat.

Context and limitations

Data includes units, period, and snapshot limitations; preprint status and uncertainty preserved; coverage limited to eastern Mindanao and Indigenous domains as per source.
