In the lush rainforests of the Philippines, a tiny creature with eyes bigger than its stomach (literally!) is stealing the spotlight 🌟. Meet the Philippine tarsier—a Near Threatened primate no larger than your hand, rocking night-vision goggles (thanks to those iconic peepers) and a permanent “who, me?” expression. 🥺
As APEC 2025 approaches, this eco-ambassador reminds us why cross-border conservation matters. The Philippines has doubled down on protecting its pocket-sized superstar, creating the Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary in Bohol. Think of it as a five-star rainforest resort 🏞️—minus the minibars—where these nocturnal cuties can thrive.
Fun fact: Tarsiers communicate in ultrasonic frequencies (sorry, humans—you’re not invited to the convo 🎶). But their real superpower? Bridging cultures through APEC’s focus on sustainability. 🌏✨
