A survey was conducted on the Mammalian and Avian Fauna of the Irawan Flora, Fauna and Watershed reserve and St. Paul Subterranean River National Park which are both located in Central Palawan. These tropical rainforests are well diversed ecosystems having a variety of animals including those endemic to the Philippines. Species composition and identification was determined though bird calls, stool droppings, odor scents, urine spots, hunter set-ups and actual sightings. The species location in different strata of the forest strata was also determined during the survey. 24 species were recorded in the Irawan area consisting of 4 mammals and 20 birds while a total of 10 species were sighted in the St. Paul area, 3 of which are mammals and the remaining 7 were birds.
