Cinchona: Philippine Eagle watch in Bukidnon’s Mt. Kitanglad Nature Park

I chanced upon this nine-minute AVP (audio-visual presentation) of an observatory of the Philippine Eagle in Cinchona Forest Reserve Kaatuan,Lantapan, Bukidnon.

I think this is an interesting subject, the Philippine Eagle being a symbol of efforts to conserve, preserve and protect nature and the environment.

This also reminded me of my own visits to the beautiful and enchanting Cinchona from 2001 to 2004.

The name of the place refers to a kind of small tree of the same name that thrives in some places in Bukidnon, including in Kaatuaan, Lantapan near Mt. Kitanglad Range Natural Park (or within the park).

The area is home to a rich and diverse growth of plants (including Cinchona) and animals (including the Philippine Eagle). The range is also home to indigenous peoples, including the Talaandigs.

I hope I could return to Cinchona soon and bring home new images and stories to prove my claims in this post.

Truly, Bukidnon is bountiful.

But efforts in protecting the environment in the province needs to be doubled or tripled, too.
