Eagle protection law awaits final signature

Mount Mingan is now just a signature away from being declared as a Critical Habitat for the Philippine Eagle. Located in Central Luzon, this portion of the Sierra Madre mountain range will be the first CH in Central Sierra Madre once President Rodrigo Duterte signs the legislation.

After nearly three years after it was passed on the third reading in Congress, the ordinance that establishes the 8,227 hectares of forest land in Gabaldon as an area for conservation and wildlife protection (aka Critical Habitat) moves closer to its passage as law as a result of community negotiations.
