African Swine Fever (ASF) is a disease of pigs clinically manifested by a massive mortality rate. The Philippines is home to four endemic wild pigs vulnerable to population wipeout due to ASF. However, current ASF programs are primarily focused on saving the commercial pig industry, with limited effort to protect the country's endemic wild pig populations. Here, we implement the transdisciplinary collaborative project called Protect Phil Warty to examine the impact of ASF on the population of Philippine Warty Pigs in Leyte and Biliran Islands, aiming to develop data-driven strategies against the spread of ASF and promote the conservation of the endemic wild pig population.
