Rainforest dwellers
I live on the Luzon, Samar, Leyte, and Mindanao islands of the Philippines. We are a
small family, with only 82–233 pairs breeding each year. Our shrill whistles are easily
identifiable. Like other eagles, we are monogamous. Females lay one egg, usually in
September. Both parents look after the chick for the next seventeen months.
No trees…
Most of us live in the forests. Humans
are cutting trees for agriculture and
other needs, leaving us homeless.
Also, with fewer trees holding the soil,
the rains cause mudslides and floods,
creating more problems for us.
