How the Philippine Eagle Center is Saving the King of the Skies

Nestled in the lush landscapes of Davao City, The Philippine Eagle Center (PEC) serves as a sanctuary for the critically endangered Philippine Eagle, the country’s national bird. This conservation facility is dedicated to the protection and rehabilitation of these majestic raptors while providing visitors with an immersive experience to learn about wildlife conservation. Located within the Malagos Watershed, PEC offers a serene, natural environment where visitors can witness these birds up close.

The center is more than just a tourist attraction; it plays a vital role in research, breeding, and environmental education.
