Women in History: She was the inspiration of Padme Amidala of Star Wars ...

The last queen of Mongolia, 1920s.

Queen Genepil (1905-1938) was the last queen of Mongolia and wife of the last Mongol Khan. After the death of her husband, she was arrested and executed in 1938, as part of the systematic Stalinist destruction of Mongolian culture and any reminders of the old regime.

A vast number of the population were killed, including almost all the shamans and Buddhist lamas of Mongolia. It is estimated that between 20,000 and 35,000 "enemies of the revolution" were executed, which represented 3 to 5 percent of Mongolia's total population at the time.

Genepil's daughter, Tserenkhand, who managed to survive the Great Purge, recalled the sudden disappearance of her mother as a child saying, “They took her away at night. She did not wake us, only left a piece of sugar on our pillows. I still remember the joy of a sudden discovery of that rare delicacy in the morning”.

(Please register here: http://bit.ly/UPV3jtI912)

"Bird of Prey" is the latest full-length documentary about the Philippine Eagle, the Philippines' national bird, and one of the world's rarest and most endangered raptors. Directed and produced by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (CLO) of New York, USA, the film was shot by Emmy Award-winning cinematographer Neil Rettig. It received at least 16 awards at various film festivals across the world and has been screened in multiple cities in the US.

With this, we are also inviting everyone to the opening program and first online screening of “Bird of Prey/ To Save our Eagle” on 20 November 2020. Please join us by registering here: https://up-edu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_--gVDYzRSDK7Bnuy6jDXTA

We strongly believe that the recent pandemic must not stop the opportunity for more Filipinos to learn about the Philippine eagle. As former WWF-Philippines President Lory Tan said in the film, "the Filipinos must know why the Philippine eagle is our national bird".
