[아시아뉴스통신=조날드 타파난 기자] The Department of Environment and Natural Resources in the Caraga Region (DENR-13) has attributed to "increased awareness" among the public the rescue of a Philippine Eagle in Surigao del Norte's Gigaquit-Alegria Mountain Range.
Herzon Gallego, DENR-13 information officer, said a resident from Bacuag, Surigao del Norte, identified as Ryan Orquina handed over to DENR-13 a Philippine Eagle after being found by several residents in the mountain range last week.
“The eagle was formally turned over to our office last August 30 and was received by Regional Executive Director (RED) Hadja Didaw D. Piang-Brahim,” Gallego told Philippine News Agency on Tuesday.
He said the rescued male eagle is estimated to be three to four years of age with the following specifications: 3.8 kilograms, a length of 92 centimeters (cm), a wingspan of 182 cm., a bill length of 10.4 cm. and the tarsus length is 16 cm.
In a Facebook post, the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office in Tubod-Taganaan (CENRO) area in Surigao del Norte said Orquina bought the endangered eagle from the members of the indigenous people (IP) in the area.
