The Philippine Eagle Foundation
Focusing on the Philippine Eagle for the conservation of nature
The Philippine Eagle Foundation is a private, non-stock, non-profit organization dedicated to saving the endangered Philippine Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi) and its rainforest habitat. Organized in 1987, it had before that time been operating as a project undertaking research, rehabilitation, and captive breeding. Staffed by highly trained and dedicated personnel, it has today evolved into the country’s premiere organization for the conservation of raptors.
OUR MISSION
The Philippine Eagle Foundation firmly believes that the fate of our vanishing Philippine Eagle, the health of our environment, and the quality of Philippine life are inextricably linked. We are therefore committed to promote the survival of the Philippine Eagle, the biodiversity it represents, and the sustainable use of our forest resources for future generations to enjoy.
Learn About Our Spectacular Birds Of Prey.
Here at Wingspan we believe that awareness excites passion and knowledge leads to appreciation.
Wingspan was established to educate and enthuse people about New Zealand’s birds of prey and considers education and advocacy as vital to their conservation.
Education is fundamental, not only for the successful conservation of birds of prey, but also to benefit us as people, to preserve cultures and to protect the environment that we share with these fascinating birds.
Learn about our birds of prey: A bird of prey is a bird that hunts for its food. But lots of birds hunt for their food and are not birds of prey – so what makes these birds different - and what is a raptor?
Learn about falconry: Falconry is the art of hunting for quarry with a trained bird of prey. How long have people been doing this and why is falconry critical to the successful conservation of the New Zealand falcon?
Learn about Maori and birds of prey: Tohunga (spiritual advisors) used birds of prey as mediums to communicate with the gods. The 'Ruru', Morepork especially features prominently in Maori mythology.
Learn about our our environment: Saving New Zealand’s birds of prey is not just about the birds. It’s about supporting a healthy environment...
Kids Activities - a fun way to introduce children to our birds of prey: Our ambassadors, Zoe the Morepork and Charlotte the falcon, will introduce you to the world of Wingspan with fun activities for small and big children alike!
