Philippine Monkey-Eating Eagle

Abstract: 3 pages in length. As much of an asset the Monkey-eating eagle is to the Philippine environment, this particular raptor is an endangered species whose habitat is quickly succumbing to the ravages of farming and logging; when the habitat is gone, so too will the eagle. Being that the Monkey-eating eagle is essentially forced to remain where it is, it must therefore deal with changes in its environment as influenced by its number one threat: man. In an effort to stake its own survival within the scheme of perpetual evolution, humanity has taken to infiltrating such sacred places as the Philippine rain forest as a means by which to acquire the raw material needed for development; moreover, there is just as much concern over poor indigenous forest dwellers who have long used the damaging slash and burn farming technique. The inevitable outcome is a conflict between the natural element and the unwelcome devastation brought about by these human activities; only through tremendous efforts by the Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF) will this species be able to avoid total extinction.
