The Philippine Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi) is one of the rarest, largest and most powerful birds in the world. This bird of prey, or raptor, belongs to the family Accipitridae. It is also known as "Haribon" or "Haring Ibon," meaning "Bird King."
Davao is the home of this majestic bird in the Philippine sky. The Philippine eagle foundation has been taking care of these jungle giants. The Foundation firmly believes that the fate of the vanishing Philippine Eagle, the health of the environment, and the quality of Philippine life are inextricably linked. Therefore people must be committed in promoting the survival of the Philippine Eagle, the biodiversity it represents, and the sustainable use of our forest resources for future generations to enjoy.
The Philippine Eagle is ecologically important to people and yet vulnerable to human activities. Conservation of the Philippine Eagle contributes to sustainable development and improves the quality of human life by maintaining biological diversity and environmental health.
The next time you visit Davao don't miss to see the "Haribon", in the Philippine Eagle Foundation.
