DAVAO CITY – Volunteers are the lifeline of many non-profit groups that operate with limited resources.
Among them is the Philippine Eagle Foundation that relies on grants and donations to sustain its conservation efforts to keep the national bird, the Philippine Eagle, away from extinction.
Ibañez said that having indigenous peoples as volunteers is a great advantage since the places where eagle and biodiversity are found are their ancestral domains. For several years now, Vandenbroeck and his team of veterinarians are providing his services in ensuring the health of raptors and other animals at the Philippine Eagle Center.
Data from the PEF showed that during the pandemic period alone, at least nine eagles have been rescued from the wild. About half of them have been injured due to air gun or jolen guns.Aside from its size, he said, the handling of Philippine Eagles has to be done a lot more carefully. “Added pressure is also the state of the eagle, being the national bird and being a critically endangered species, so we can’t really afford to make mistakes and have to be extra careful.
The students, according to the PEF, have volunteered to assist the different activities at the center.
