DAVAO CITY (MindaNews / 10 February) – Preparations are now in full swing for the transfer of the first eight Philippine eagles to the isolated National Bird Breeding Sanctuary (NBBS) in Barangay Eden, Toril District on Tuesday, February 13, a Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF) official said Friday.

He said that workers from the city government already inspected the NBBS last Wednesday. The facility’s total area measures 13.46 hectares, of which 5.3 hectares will be the core facility while 8.16 hectares will serve as natural forest buffer. He said the sanctuary has six holding cages and one breeding chamber, completed a year after constructions began in January 2023.
It noted that the outbreak of the disease in March 2022 in neighboring Magsaysay town, Davao del Sur – located 90 kilometers southwest of the PEC – “brings the threat right at our doorstep and puts all 32 Philippine eagles in the PEC at risk of being exterminated.” “The slightest disturbance could cause them to immediately stop and fixate on the source of the disturbance. Activities in adjacent farm lots are disruptive to our Philippine eagle pairs’ breeding activities,” it said.
