	The Manila Times Internet Edition \| OPINION > New discoveries on Camiguin Island
		LOCATED in north Mindanao, Camiguin Island, is the smallest island in the Philippines currently known to support unique species of mammals (Heaney, 1986) and is smaller than any island previously known to support an endemic bird (Peterson et.
		In 2001 it was estimated that 82 percent of the island, or 208 km2 was covered by croplands and other inhabited areas with almost half the island covered with coconut plantation http://agri10.norminet.org.ph as cited by Heaney and Tabaranza in Fieldiana, 2006).
		However, the small size of the island of Camiguin, coupled with extensive deforestation, makes the status of the new species significant conservation concern.
