NABUNTURAN, Davao de Oro – The Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office, Philippine Eagle Foundation, and different law enforcement agencies are set to embark on a massive information and education campaign next month for the protection of the Philippine Eagles and other wildlife in the province.
In a multi-agency coordination meeting co-organized by the PENRO and PEF, representatives from the Armed Forces of the Philippines , Davao de Oro Provincial Police Office , and the National Bureau of Investigation have agreed to collaborate in conducting further investigation to identify the suspect behind the shooting of the critically endangered Philippine Eagle last week.
The eagle, which was eventually named “Mangayon,” was immediately taken to this city but died while being treated due to severe blood loss on the same day. CENRO Gretel Basoc disclosed that there are only five households in the area where the eagle was retrieved. Basoc believes that Mangayon may have been shot somewhere else.
PEF Director for Operations Jayson Ibañez believes that there could be a parent eagle in the area since Mangayon was an immature eagle about two- to three-years-old. Marron added that it was only then that he learned from residents about the reported sightings of the three Philippine Eagles. "Aside from having security, it will make a difference if the police officers will help explain to them that harming the Philippine Eagle is a crime," he said.
