Phil has passed laws to protect this specie but I didn’t heard anyone convicted for violating such laws. Massive mining and deforestation were also widespread specially in Mindanao making this birds’ reproduction more difficult.

Too sad it’s critically endangered here in our country and no strong support and dedication coming from our government. Hopefullu the new administration will dedicate a strong support for this powerful yet endangered bird of prey.

-This is partly true because during those era 1800’s the Philippine Islands was still much covered with its original thick Old-growth forests about 90% of its original forests was still intact and monkeys where still abundant and the eagle frequently seen by locals taking and feeding on long-tailed macaques in Bonga, SAMAR where the eagle was first discovered by the English Explorer John Whitehead in 1896 where it got its name Monkey-eating eagle.

Saying that an encounter with a large male macague left the eagle “Regularly” with a broken leg after a scuffle is highly misleading this instance was documented only once the eagle and the large male macaque struggles during the scuffle and they both fell from the tree, this is where the eagle broke it’s leg due to the fall but it survived the ordeal.
