Six rehabilitated wild animals released in Aurora protected forest

Six wild animals have been released into the forested expanse of Aurora Memorial National Park after completing rehabilitation programs, the DENR's Central Luzon office announced Tuesday. The protected area spans portions of Aurora and Nueva Ecija provinces, providing a suitable environment for the animals' return to the wild. According to Artemio Almazan Jr., head of the DENR's Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office, the releases represent successful outcomes of the agency's wildlife rehabilitation initiatives. The animals had undergone comprehensive care and assessment to ensure their fitness for survival in their natural habitat. The Aurora Memorial National Park serves as a critical conservation zone for indigenous wildlife species in the region, offering protected forests and ecosystems necessary for species recovery and population stability. The DENR continues to prioritize wildlife rehabilitation and habitat protection as core components of its environmental management strategy in Central Luzon.
