SMC, avian expert bare plans to protect migratory birds

SAN Miguel Corp. is drawing up a comprehensive plan to protect local and migratory bird populations that regularly visit Manila Bay, including the coastal areas of Bulakan, Bulacan, as part of the sustainability blueprint for its New Manila International Airport project.

SMC President Ramon S. Ang said the company has tapped avian researcher Dr. Frank Rheindt, associate professor and dean's chair at the Department of Biological Sciences of the National University of Singapore, to study the bird populations in the area.
