Juvenile eagle rescued in Iloilo

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources reported that a man, known only as “Boknoy”, turned over the Brahminy Kite, or a red-backed sea-eagle, to the local government of Bingawan.

“In this time of crisis when communities are in lockdown, these birds freely savor the clean air as they fly around,” said Francisco Milla Jr., DENR regional director for Western Visayas. Mayor Mark Palabrica and the Bingawan Municipal Environment and Natural Office then turned it over to the DENR’s Community Environment and Natural Resources Office in Barotac Nuevo town.

“We commend the vigilance of our communities who readily reported to the DENR any rescue they make of our wild animals. This is a big support to our biodiversity conservation efforts,” Milla added. DENR’s CENRO said the Brahminy Kite can soon be released back to its natural habitat as it “healthy and aggressive.”
