Cabiokid was able to acquire three wild piglets (Sus Philippinensis) through the support of Avilon zoo and the Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau (ERDB) of the DENR, based in Los Baños, Laguna.
The pigs will be allowed to roam in a spacious enclosure and will be integrated in the permaculture system.
Food and food sources will be established to ensure an independent and natural system for breeding the animals, while they will assist in improving the overall soil fertility.
The Cabiokid breeding and wildlife program is entering its third year and has provided many challenging insights in rearing wildlife.
To some extent we believe that breeding wildlife is a very profitable.
- Breeding wildlife can expose the biodiversity of the Philippine fauna to a wider audience.
- Breeding wildlife can be a way to refer from hunting the animals in their natural habitat.
- Breeding wildlife can be a support to replenish heavily degraded areas.
Cabiokid would specially like to thank Jake Gaw of Avilon zoo and Dr Lito Exconde and Dr. Manny Bravo from EDRB and Dr. Steven U Toledo from AWPD for their support and thrust in Cabiokid.
