Unfortunately, the national bird of the Philippines is losing its home to human land use activities such as logging, farming and mining. With the added pressures from shooting and trapping, it is estimated that there are only around 400 breeding pairs left in the wild, distributed across the four islands of Luzon, Leyte, Samar and Mindanao.
Mandai Nature supports the Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF) in adopting an integrated approach to conserve the eagle. Conservation efforts are underway to learn about population numbers, breeding sites, and causes of decline in each region across its range.
PEF also builds local conservation capacity through hands-on and theoretical training of project collaborators as well as engaging communities and elementary schools close to eagle habitats through conservation education and public awareness outreach activities.
Together with Mandai Wildlife Group, Mandai Nature also contributes to the ex-situ conservation of the Philippine Eagle through the establishment of a breeding pair of eagles at the Jurong Bird Park in Singapore. The eagles arrived in 2019 and are the first breeding pair to be sent outside the Philippines. This landmark arrangement illustrates the importance of international cooperation in promoting and preserving biodiversity in the region.
The Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF) believes that the fate of the Philippine Eagle, the health of our environment and the quality of Philippine communities are inextricably linked. PEF is firmly committed to ensure the survival of the Philippine Eagle, the biodiversity it represents and the sustainable use of forest resources for future generations to enjoy.
