044 The Philippine Eagle with Jayson Ibanez
Episode description
Formerly known as the Monkey-eating Eagle, the Philippine Eagle is large, imperious eagle of the remote forests of The Philippines. Sadly, it is clinging to a meaningful existence only through the assistance of a dedicated team throught the Philippine Eagle Foundation, based in Davao, on the island of Mindinao.
I was fortunate to have a conversation with Jayson Ibanez, Director of Research and Conservation, with the Foundation.
Jayson has an interest in indigenous studies, which has informed his conservation work and he has a significant connection to Australia. I hope you learn as much about this fabulous raptor as I did.
The Philippine Eagle Foundation has a really good website, and if you want to read a lot of aticles, there are plenty here to dive into - philippineeaglefoundation.org
If you can, consider supporting the efforts of the Foundation to study and protect the Philippine Eagle.
