Bird of Prey

"If we lose the Philippine Eagle, the world loses..." I will never forget this line. Thank you for uploading this.

Just an update for the team that created this video: from the 50 pairs that was known to have existed when you made this film, it's now grown to 400 documented pairs. Much work still needs to be done to conserve the habitat and to further propagate this magnificent creature. Thank you for spearheading the effort.

The Philippine Eagle doesn't just symbolize power and strength, but the health and status of our environment as well. Being the apex predator in its habitat, it plays a very vital role in balancing the ecosystem. Protecting this magnificent bird of prey is more than just wildlife conservation.

I miss Pag-asa. He was the childhood Eagle of my generation.

Respect to every person involved to save the Phillipine Eagle! 🙌🏻 Really NOT an easy job.... Godspeed

When I finished my college, I will donate regularly in PEF 🙏🏻 I want the next generation to have a chance to see the philippine eagle.

Lost my job and have very few money left. But I am donating to the Philippine Eagle Foundation. I will also do it regularly once I get a job again. This is a tremendous Christmas gift for me. Thanks to the people behind this project.

What a magnificent bird. It's expression is different from any other species of eagles or birds of prey. These are the Apex guys in the skies and it would really be a shame if we'd loose them, like so many species we've already lost. Congrats to all involved in this project and others with the same purpose.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR WORK. I am from Davao City, in Mindanao the land of the Philippine Eagles. This will be a great documentary to show students of this new generation.

Beautiful story, beautiful film, beautiful people, honoring the most beautiful bird. Forever changed by this. Thank you!

I always have teary eyes whenever i watch documentaries about the philippine eagle... so precious to us...

The filming alone, just wow! The dedication, hardwork, passion, the love for the prey, its something of everything. Hope this one feeds awareness to every one of us to protect our wildlife/environment.

Magnificent creatures! Kudos to our indigenous rangers and the community around it who are willing to protect the Philippine eagle

So majestic, well-made, and inspiring. Thank you, Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Philippine Eagle Foundation, for making this easily accessible to the next generation.

In behalf of all the Filipinos out there, we thank you so much for the dedication, passion and hard work you put into this project, indeed it is a legacy that will last forever.... Sir Neil and to all of his staff making this incredible documentary about the Philippine Eagle hats off to all of you guys!. ps. and also to our Kabayans who puts their whole life dedicated to protecting this majestic bird, salute!!!!

'Wonderful' is the word that applies not only to the Philippine Eagle, but also to the scientists, researchers, and filming crew and the PEF involved in this undertaking: your patience, endurance and sheer dedication to preserving the world's wildlife is beyond exemplary. Thank you very much for this invaluable legacy!

My first itinerary when I visited Davao a few years ago was to see the Phil Eagle. I just feel so sad how a few people would be so selfish to even hurt our precious animals. They are majestic creatures, truly impressive when you see them up close. A little bit of donation to help save them plus spreading awareness to the young so that they can continue wildlife protection would really go a long way.

Thank you So Much to all the people who are involved making this possible for all of Us to see and learned how to care for the magnificent Bird Of Prey of The Philippines and support the Philippine Eagle Foundation to save and protect the Eagle and all their environment.. God Bless you all guys with love and care and good health Mabuhay kayong lahat!!! Mabuhay ang Philippine Eagle 🇵🇭♥️

I am profoundly grateful to the makers of this documentary. Now at the age of 71, I had opportunities in my childhood, teens and 20s to have seen things that may not be possible again to behold; or then again, maybe they will--but only with our determination. To round the side of a sandstone rise in the Great Basin and come eye to eye--no farther than 15 feet--with a lithe, muscular mountain lion; to sleep under the milky glow of our own galaxy, a spinning slice of heaven now invisible to kids living near the all-night streetlights of suburbs and mini-malls--those moments should not be relegated to a memory of the innocent 1950s. We all deserve to see the Milky Way, without the glare of artificial lights; hikers who are informed of wildlife safety deserve to glimpse a live mountain lion, safely but surely, with their own eyes, and not in the last moment that the last mountain lion was filmed, sometime later in this century. Isn't that an awful sentence to read!? YES--yes, of course; it should be terrible even to consider. Will 2054 be the year we bid goodbye to the Sumatran rhinoceros? Will 2044 be the last year on Earth for the Black-Footed ferret of the High Plains of Wyoming? The last year for the majesty we all love and now know as the Philippine Eagle? Early in this film the researcher Neil notes the power of images to change hearts and minds. I totally agree--change is not only possible but we know how and why human beings change, why they take note, listen, and act from intentions that nurture our world, not only our own selfish needs, or the convenience of the moment. When we are motivated by lofty ideas with deep meanings, obstacles wither and hopes become necessities. The best lesson we learned in the 1980s was that authoritarian governments do not care about eagles, trees or the workers who work the land. Marcos, Pinochet, Somoza, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Reagan and Thatcher cared only for wealthy friends and their corporations. We are still repairing the damage left by monumentally selfish leaders like those, and we are still at risk from the threats of nationalists like Trump and Bolsinaro, Orban and Putin, Erdogan and Duterte, Lukashenko and Assad. Only democratic leaders will respect the earth beneath our feet. Thank you to the researchers, teachers and environmental advocates who worked on this project. Thank you especially to the Pilipino people, for sharing your country and for conserving for the whole world these incredible creatures! I'm sharing this inspiring documentary with everyone I know.

I never thought I would be this hurt after watching this masterpiece; the reason for this, is REALITY. Every tree that I saw fell in this film is a dagger to my heart. "They don't know yet the dangers of humans"---one of the most heartbreaking lines in this film. The passion of the people in this film is truly remarkable! I just hope that as the population in the Philippines (and in the world) grows, the percentage of people who care about nature, with all her glory, as well as about the wildlife, would also increase. This is a wonderful reminder/eye-opener/trigger; I will remember the line, " It takes more than believing, it takes doing. This is the time for doing." THANK YOU FOR THIS!! 💖
