Philippine eagle faces higher risk of extinction, study finds

Scientists have discovered that the Philippine eagle, already critically endangered, is at even greater risk of extinction due to its low genetic diversity, making it more vulnerable to diseases and environmental changes. This study highlights the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect the species from further threats. With such limited genetic variation, the eagle's ability to adapt to changing conditions is severely compromised, underscoring the importance of safeguarding its habitat and implementing breeding programs to bolster its population.
