Featured Cause-Oriented Organization: Haribon Foundation
Founded in 1972, Haribon is the Philippines pioneer environmental organization. †Haribon was established as a birdwatching society. Inspired by the majesty as well as the plight of the Philippine Eagle, which even then was critically endangered, Haribon drew members from nature lovers who wanted to do something about the threatened wildlife of the country. †Haribon undertook the Philippine Eagle project, studying the little known ecology of the Philippine Eagle and looking for the most effective way to conserve one of the world’s most magnificent birds of prey.
Haribon became a full-fledged nature conservation foundation under the leadership of its first president, Dr. Celso Roque. Its name was changed from The Haribon Society to the Haribon Foundation for the Conservation of Natural Resources.
