Sibaliw Station

I´ve been there 2017, and it was great! 6 weeks of tropical rainforest - wild natural jungle with paths. I did a study there about fauna of epiphytic ferns - as a course from my university about ecology of the rainforest. My friend and I had a very nice time there, even met besides the nice station staffs, birdwatchers who came here from england to see the elusive negros bleeding heart - and were successful. We also met the PhilinCon forest rangers and I was deeply impressed by their stories: they search like in a military operation for illegal poachers and loggers - trying to find and convince the illegal hunters to hand in the guns and the loggers the chainsaws. PhilinCon also provides alternative livelihoods...
The station was build in 1997 by Prof. Eberhard Curio, from the Ruhr-University Bochum, to study there the birds, other animals and plants of the lowland primary tropical rainforest.
