There are post-1990 records from at least 28 sites, including six records within highly urbanised areas such as Cebu City (L. M. Paguntalan\u00a0in litt.\u00a02012), although very small numbers were recorded at most of these, with observations usually totalling one to five individuals at each. However, in 2004, work at Nug-as Forest, the largest remaining tract of mature secondary forest (700ha), discovered a much larger population, with 85 individuals sighted across 7 km of transects. Extrapolations based on these sightings suggest that up to 2,500 individuals could be present at Nug-as (Jakosalem\u00a0<em>et al<\/em>. 2005).<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"ngg-galleryoverview\" id=\"ngg-gallery-428-46548\">\n\n\n\n    \t<!-- Thumbnails -->\n\t\t\n\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-3707\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box nggvote-33\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\" >\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/black-shama-copsychus-cebuensis\/black_shama_adbp6509a.jpg\" title=\"Black Shama (Copsychus cebuensis) taken at Nug-as Forest, Alcoy, Cebu, Philippines on August 2, 2013\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Black Shama (Copsychus cebuensis) taken at Nug-as Forest, Alcoy, Cebu, Philippines on August 2, 2013\" alt=\"black_shama_adbp6509a\" src=\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/black-shama-copsychus-cebuensis\/thumbs\/thumbs_black_shama_adbp6509a.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<span>black_shama_adbp6509a<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n \t\n\t<!-- Pagination -->\n \t<div class=\"ngg-clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Copsychus cebuensis\u00a0is endemic to the island of Cebu in the\u00a0Philippines.
