Recently I received a notification from The Cornell Lab of Ornithology about a documentary on the endangered Phillipine Eagle.

We decided to watch it on our Friday night Movie night and we were fascinated by it.

It really underlines the need for the World to become more aware of the consequences of the wholesale destruction of forests and other natural areas, and why we all need to do our part, not matter how small or insigificant it may seem.

Below is The Cornell Lab Description of the documentary:

Bird of Prey, the multi award-winning feature-length documentary from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, weaves a remarkable story of the world’s rarest eagle species and the heroic individuals working tirelessly to save it. Since its release in 2018, Bird of Prey, has screened to countless audiences around the world and throughout the Philippines where the film has become an invaluable tool for raising awareness and support for conservation of the critically endangered Philippine Eagle.
