	endangered animals - reports
		The Philippine Eagle is primarily a rainforest raptor.
		Almost all of the captive eagles were originally obtained as injured birds that were salvaged or eagles illegally removed from the wild, and thus not suitably reared for captive breeding.
		The main breeding season for Philippine Eagles, that is, the time of year when they have eggs and young in the nest, is spread out from September through about May. If the eagles are successful, the full breeding cycle period until independence of the chick and the start of the next nesting requires two years.

	The Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF)
		The Philippine Eagle Conservation Program (PECP) was established in 1977 as a co-administered effort between the government and the private sector to attempt intervention strategies to mitigate the exploitation of the forestry resources by focusing on a flagship species, the Philippine Monkey-eating eagle Pithecophaga jefferyi.
		Although the Philippine government was officially responsible for the Philippine eagle, an endangered species, they kept to schedules where absences from the program were chronic and disruptive observing all official holidays and government assigned working hours.
		When nesting sites or sightings of the eagle were verified this became the launching point to initiate a campaign to secure the safety of the eagles and engage in development activities to assist communities who directly affected the birds and destroyed the forests.

		Amongst the trees is a row of small, ageing cages holding the eagles Jinjing — named after the nickname of his former owner--and Ransom, whose captors had unsuccessfully tried to extort `expenses' from the Philippine eagle breeding centre before surrendering him.
		Like all the Philippine Eagle Centre's 16 eagles bar Pag-asa and Pagkakaisa, each was confiscated, donated by former owners, or rescued — Dawan was plucked from the sea off an island of the same name where the trees had been illegally cut — and remains in captivity as hand-reared birds cannot survive in the wild.
		The following morning, as the eagles were driven to their new home past streamers saying `Welcome', the people waiting for them did not wave or applaud, as even they did not realise the move had taken place.
