The Philippine Eagle Foundation announced on Tuesday the installation work for a retrofitted powerline system designed to avoid accidental electrocution of large birds, particularly the Philippine eagle.
“The survival of each individual to sexual maturity is very critical for an IUCN [International Union for the Conservation of Nature] ‘critically endangered’ species like the Philippine Eagle,” Dennis Salvador, executive director at PEF said in a statement. The corps of the Philippine eagle was discovered about a meter distant from a concrete electric post owned and operated by Cotelco.
Jason Ibanez, director for Research and Conservation, said globally, developed and highly industrialized countries like Japan, US and Europe had grave issues with large eagles dying of electric shock for several decades now, and they have developed safe wire insulation methods to avoid its impacts.
