Ang Philippine Eagles na sina Geothermica at Sanbisig umano ang pinakaunang “eagle couple” na isinailalim sa international cooperation noong 2019 upang maisalba ang “critically endangered” na pambansang ibon ng Pilipinas mula sa tuluyan nitong pagkawala.
“Let us remember Geothermica for his huge contribution as a Species Ambassador in Singapore where over 1.2 million guests from around the world experienced the majesty of the Philippines’ national symbol and how important global cooperation is to save its kind,” anang PEF.
“We are deeply saddened by Geothermica’s passing but rest assured that we will not lose heart in our mission to foster international cooperations to save this global jewel.”
“Fly free, Geothermica. Your contribution as an ambassador for your kind will never be forgotten,” saad pa nito.
Ayon sa PEF, mayroon pang natitirang 392 na pares ng Philippine Eagles.
