Philippine eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi) Tagoyaman Fernando takes flight as he heads back home to the mountains of San Fernando in Bukidnon on Earth Day, April 22, 2021. The story of the raptor’s rescue by the Higaonon tribe of Bukidnon, its eventual release, and the Biodiversity Management Champions from the province were featured in the Philippine Eagle Week celebration on June 4 with the theme, “The Philippine Eagle and Indigenous Peoples: Protecting our Forests, Protecting Our Future.” The virtual event was hosted by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Biodiversity Management Bureau in partnership with Philippine Eagle Foundation, Haribon Foundation, and University of the Philippines-Diliman Institute of Biology.
