On March 17, 2025, at 5:00 PM (room VN306), our student associations will present a unique discussion with guests from the Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF) and our partner ZOO Liberec as part of regular lectures with practitionets. The topic will be the return of the largest predator and emblematic animal species of the Philippines, the Philippine eagle, to the island of Leyte. The following will talk about the efforts and intricacies of breeding eagles in captivity and their subsequent release into their original range:
Julia Lynne A. Allong (PEF): Restoring the King of the Skies: Reintroduction (conservation translocation) of the Great Philippine Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi) to Leyte Island
Dave Balingit Balatero (PEF): Safeguarding the Future: The Philippine Eagle Foundation’s Conservation Breeding Initiatives
Jan Hanel (ZOO Liberec):EAZA Raptor TAG and its role in the conservation of birds of prey and owls
Tereza Zahálková (ČZU): Assisted reproduction in birds of prey with a focus on the Philippine eagle
