Study maps 10,000 hectares for Philippine eagles in Leyte

A study published in the Philippine Journal of Science has identified over 10,000 hectares of forested land in Leyte as potential release sites for Philippine eagles, aiming to support conservation efforts to restore the critically endangered species. The research, conducted by experts from the University of the Philippines Diliman and the Philippine Eagle Foundation, used geographic information systems and environmental assessments to determine the most suitable areas based on habitat quality, distance from human activity, and safety considerations. These findings aim to guide the Philippine Eagle Reintroduction Program, which involves collaboration between government agencies, NGOs, and local communities. The study highlights the importance of addressing past threats like deforestation and habitat loss, particularly in light of the devastating impact of Super Typhoon Yolanda on the region.
