Science: Mammalian Diversity in the Philippines

The Philippine Islands have the greatest concentration (per unit area) of unique mammals of any country—from giant and tiny bats to striped “earth mice” and soft-furred hedgehogs. Field Museum Researcher Lawrence Heaney will explore the geological history and current geography that makes all of this possible, and consider the issues involved in conserving this unique fauna.
