Mindoro Bleeding-heart

Gallicolumba platenae

The Mindoro bleeding-heart, also referred to as kulo-kulo, la-do, manatad, manuk-manuk, punay, and puñalada by the Mangyan, is a species of ground dove native solely to the island of Mindoro in the Philippines. It is critically endangered and threatened by habitat loss through quarrying, land conversion and illegal logging. This species is also caught by hunters in snares. Due to its biological line and its survival status, it has been listed as an EDGE species by the Zoological Society of London. With a lack of any official records after 2005, this species is now one of the rarest birds in the world.
