strongest, and rarest birds in the world with less than 400 breeding pairs left in the wild. The

Philippine eagle is declared the Philippine national bird. But the Eagle is endangered mainly

because of the loss of its habitat from deforestation.

They have blue-gray eyes, a dark face with a creamy brown neck and crown, while Its back is

dark brown, and its underside and underwings are white. Their legs are yellow, with large,

powerful, and dark claws. The eagle plays a very essential role in keeping the balance in the

ecosystem. They are on top of the food chain and help regulate the species population. The

Philippine Eagles can only be found in the Philippines, in forests, specifically in steep areas.

urbanization, has resulted in the loss of the eagle’s habitat that has bad consequences for the

species. Another reason why the Philippine eagles are the shooting of the Philippine Eagles.

organizations or programs that help prevent its extinction. Second, if we ever see someone

that is trying to shoot or capture it, we can report them to the authorities.
