After an eagle's loss, an entire Philippine province unites to protect its wildlife
In the Philippines, the governor of Cotabato has pulled together police, environmental rangers and every town government to enforce the country's wildlife protection law across the province. The move follows the death of a Philippine eagle — the country's national bird — near Arakan, and it covers the forests around Mount Apo, a protected sanctuary, with heavy fines for anyone who harms its wildlife. One wounded eagle found in Magpet is now recovering at a clinic in Davao City.
The upbeat factorhope — an entire province deciding its rarest bird is worth defending, together.
