Regardless of age, background, sector, or community, everyone has a role to play in protecting the Philippine Eagle and the forests it calls home. 🤝

📸 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐞, the Philippine eagle found at NAPWC estimated to be 46 years old. Captured in Bukidnon, Girlie suffered injury to her right eye from a slingshot, a tragic example of the threats these magnificent birds face.

Though she remains under the WRC's watchful care, you can meet Girlie within the park grounds at NAPWC. 🌳
