In this study, DNA barcodes of members of the family Accipitridae, including Haliastur indus (brahminy kite), Haliaeetus leucogaster (white-bellied sea eagle), Ichthyophaga ichthyaetus (grey-headed fish eagle), Spilornis holospilus (crested serpent-eagle), Spizaetus philippensis (Philippine hawk-eagle), and Pithecophaga jefferyi (Philippine eagle), are reported for the first time. These are efficient and sustainable approaches to accomplish conservation goals.ĭNA barcoding is a molecular method that rapidly identifies an individual to a known taxon or its closest relative based on a 650-bp fragment of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI). There is a need to strengthen law enforcement and develop a conservation education program to foster positive perception, values, and conservation attitude. This result highlights the importance of laws in deterring criminal offenses against wildlife. However, locals still support conservation due to existing laws. indus is considered a pest to aquaculture because it feeds on the fingerlings of Hito (Siluriformes sp.) and Tilapia (Oreochromis sp.). Seventy (70) households were interviewed on their perception, values, and conservation attitude. ![]() indus through multiple linear regression. This study aims to determine the influence of human perception and values towards the conservation of H. indus has been observed in a suburban town in Los Amigos, Tugbok District, Davao City, perching on trees alongside the Davao to Bukidnon national road. However, due to human persecution and habitat loss, there is a rapid population decline in the Philippines. This species is an essential bioindicator of ecological health. Brahminy Kite (Haliastur indus Boddaert, 1783), locally known as Banog, is a diurnal raptor extant in the Philippines.
