Does it keep tarsiers and/or flying lemurs?

Does it keep tarsiers and/or flying lemurs?

I do not think so, as historically this conservation breeding station was established to breed Panay Visayas fauna. Even now, the emphasis is on writhed hornbill, Visayan deer and pig and leopard cat.

I actually thought that Iliolo island was out of range for tarsiers at the very least. It seems their main distribution area in the Pilipinas is Bohol-Samar-Leyte line south to Mindanao, Basilan and perhaps the Jolo archipelago. Similarly, Philippine flying squirrel is restricted to Bohol-Samar-Leyte and Mindanao. Mari-It Center is on Panay, West Visayas.
