The Philippine’s National Bird is the Philippine Eagle, which is already on the endangered species list. There only about 1,000 eagles left in the wild and the government of Davao is taking extreme measures to conserve this magnificent bird.

I hope to visit the center last this year, to finish my thesis on endangered species and breeding patterns.
