Philippine Eagle Breeding Program Continues Progress
The Philippine Eagle Foundation is still quietly and effectively making strides toward saving the Philippine eagle from extinction. So far, 22 chicks have been bred at the center. The ultimate goal is to be able to release the birds into the wild.
Drawing on lessons learned from the condor and harpy eagle conservation programmes in the United States, the foundation’s goal is to set free one captive-bred bird each year.
“In the next five years I am confident that we can do this,” said Dennis Salvador, the foundation’s director.

Oooooh, I love the picture!!
I am happy to note that despite we having a hard time in national politics, environmental objectives of the govrnment were not affected. I hope this happens too to national security, health department, educationl programs, social welfare once the changes in the constitution will push through. Enjoy blogging.
