Not much is known about the critically endangered Philippine eagle's range and wild population. Using satellite images and citizen science data, a team of researchers has recently identified forest areas suitable for the eagles, reports @KeithFabro.

The Philippine eagle has been declared threatened with extinction for nearly three decades, but little is definitely known about its range and its wild population, reports @KeithFabro.

The 1st time I saw a tingkep was in a QC store that supports non-timber forest products. Then, in a Palawan agritourism farm. I had no idea it could be protected by a power supply, as this story from one of the Jaime Espina Klima Correspondents Fellows @KeithFabro reveals.

[Mangroots #Mangroves @man_groots]

Our 1st coastal #resilience story is out! @KeithFabro explains in @mongabay how outreach initiatives, community partnerships and #indigenous belief are preserving #mangroves in 🇵🇭, and the area’s coastal forests and fisheries are seeing a recovery.

Four months after Typhoon Rai struck, the community of Macatumbalen in the western Philippines’ Palawan province has been left largely on its own as it attempts to resume forest restoration and replanting, @KeithFabro reports. https://t.co/CPwHpOEPiz

[Manon Verchot @manonverchot]

When Typhoon Rai struck the Philippines in December 2021, this community's forest was devastated, harming the ecosystem & local livelihood sources. They’re still trying to recover what they lost
