Magpet, Cotabato<\/em><\/strong>– In a concerted effort to safeguard the critically endangered Philippine Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi) recently sighted in the forests of Magpet, the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) Cotabato, in collaboration with the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) Matalam and the Mt. Apo Natural Park-Protected Area Management Office (MANP-PAMO), conducted simultaneous Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) drives across three barangays on October 20, 2024. These barangays\u2014Sallab, Imamaling, and Bangkal\u2014are known to be part of the eagle’s habitat range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 398 individuals, including barangay officials and community members, participated in the educational campaign, which aimed to raise awareness on the importance of protecting and conserving the Philippine Eagle. The sessions covered critical topics, including the eagle’s conservation status, its role in maintaining ecological balance, and the legal framework surrounding wildlife protection, specifically Republic Act 9147 or the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants were particularly informed about the illegal acts and penalties related to wildlife harm, such as poaching and habitat destruction, underscoring the critical need for community cooperation in preserving the Philippine Eagle’s habitat. To enhance understanding and engagement, IEC materials were distributed to the participants, while signages were installed in key locations across the three barangays to warn the public of potential legal consequences for violating wildlife protection laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This activity is part of a broader initiative between PENRO Cotabato, CENRO Matalam, and LGU Magpet to establish Local Conservation Areas (LCAs) across several barangays in the municipality. The conservation initiative aims to create a safe environment where the Philippine Eagle can thrive and ensure the long-term protection of the species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
