Carlito and Uswag’s release was a reintroduction of the species (#PithecophagaJefferyi) into the area, where sightings of the #raptors died down after Super Typhoon #Yolanda (#Haiyan) wreaked havoc on the island in 2013.

“We believe that this is a milestone for Philippine eagle conservation,” said Ibañez. #WildlifeConservation #Philippines
