00:00Female and then all time.

00:07Reps from the three wing side, please join the boat to upper tree.

00:14Father, come from here.

00:17So our three eagles, including Philippine Eagle Lakwe, a male eagle, he is 20 years old.

00:26And he is the replacement of Uswag.

00:28Our plan is to introduce him so that hopefully he will be the mate of Philippine Eagle Carlito.

00:36The other mate is Philippine Eagle Lyra Sinabadan.

00:41She is 8 years old.

00:43A female mature eagle, sexually mature.

00:47And then her mate is Philippine Eagle Kalatungan, a 3 year old male eagle.

00:55They are still young, but because of the protocols that we are implementing,

01:00what we call cohort bonding,

01:02they are now in each other.

01:05They are now together in the cage and hopefully they will also be sexually mature pairs eventually.

01:12Are they rescued?

01:14Yes, so all of our three eagles are rescued and rehabilitated

01:20because that is a sad thing that is happening in Mindanao.

01:25In our estimate, all of the forests of Mindanao have territorial pairs or eagles.

01:33And we have sexually mature or surplus birds that can be seen in the boundaries of the territories.

01:44And these surplus or immature eagles that do not yet have a mate,

01:48they are the ones that are usually shot, shot or trapped.

01:55So one methodology or approach that the DNR and the Philippine Eagle Foundation are doing

02:06is to transfer these surplus birds

02:08so that they can be rescued from the threat of shooting and shooting

02:14and put them in the forests where there are no more Philippine Eagles

02:17and they will be protected by the stakeholders.

02:22So that is the role of the Luby Mountain Range in Leyte.

02:27We are sure that there are no more Philippine Eagles.

02:30So we will return the Philippine Eagles here in Leyte

02:35by translocating or transferring surplus eagles to Mindanao.

02:40And hopefully, in the future, there will be surplus birds in the summer that can be transferred here.

02:47The target is to release a maximum of 16 birds in 5 years.
