Habitat loss and poaching.

They are mainly endangered because of deforesting, but mining, poaching, and pollution are also problems to these birds. Save them!
Philippine Eagles became an endangered species because of people hunting them (poachers), due to logging and agriculture that reduces their habitat, and due to chemicals in the environment that affect them. The population of Philippine Eagles is decreasing to a very low level and it is considered "critically endangered."

We should treat them properly and refrain from killing innocent animals.
Yes. The Philippine Eagle is one of them. Mostly because many people are killing them.
