A breeding pair of Phili ppine Eagles needs a territory of 25.50 sq.km of forests to survive. (Collar et al 199) This means that a healthy forest with a land area equivalent to the whole of Metro Manila can accommodate only as many as 25 pairs of Phili ppine Eagles. Join us further by supporting a national policy that favors conservation, and restoration of our rainforests.
