Siargao Island is not just a home to the famous “Cloud 9” wave, but also a home to hundreds of species of plants and fauna.
The teardrop-shaped island’s biodiversity was uncovered in a study conducted by the Department of Science and Technology’s (DOST) National Research Council of the Philippines (NRCP) members of Division V (Biological Sciences).
Led by Dr. Cecilia Banag-Moran, the NRCP team logged around 110 species of plants and 403 species of animals from the aquatic and terrestrial habitats in the municipality of Del Carmen alone.
