What are the main threats to the Philippine eagle?

The main threats include habitat loss due to deforestation, decline in the populations of prey mammals, hunting, trapping, environmental degradation, and bioaccumulation of pesticides. Environmental degradation from mining and pollution also threaten the species. All of these pressures, combined with the bird’s long generation time, have proved to be challenging obstacles to the species’ recovery.
