“This 13-hectare area would become the new Noah’s Ark for our Philippine eagles,” Dr. Jayson Ibañez, PEF’s director for research and conservation, told reporters during a site visit on February 27.Among the challenges facing conservationists at the Malagos facility were threats of exotic diseases, avian flu, Newcastle disease and trichomoniasis that could afflict the raptors, Ibañez said.
“There’s the issue of noise [levels] and the impact of agricultural [activities]. The current facility is close to private lots, current fields for corn and bananas, and they are also using harmful pesticides,” Ibañez explained.
