The Philippine eagle is the largest forest raptor in the Philippines and the country's National Bird. Organized in 1987, it had before that time been operating as a project undertaking research, rehabilitation and captive breeding. Staffed by highly trained and dedicated personnel, it has today evolved into the country's premiere organization for the conservation of raptors. The Philippine eagle is one of the rarest eagles in the world. It is a giant bird of prey that can only be seen on 4 islands in the Philippines- Luzon, Samar, Leyte, and Mindanao.Taxonomic Coverages

The current Philippine protected area network covered only 32% of the total suitable eagle habitats. This is 13% less than the minimum standard target of 45 % coverage based on our estimation of Philippine Eagle range size.
