Philippine Eagle Reserve Ecolodge
Mindanao, PhilippinesEach prefabricated pod is supported on a single pier foundation w/ supporting guy wires. This allows each pod the flexibility to locate on any topography as well as the ability to relocate if required. The top prism has a fabric roof with screen walls, the lower prism is translucent corrugated with locally reclaimed wood walls. Sleeps 6 people on 2 floors.
Presently local farmers create income by slashing forest and eagle habitat, replacing it with grazing land for livestock and pushing the already dwindling Philippine Eagle population closer to extinction. Carefully managed eco-tourism will create a stronger local and international awareness for the eagle’s plight as well as the financial means to employ and subsidize the local residents. Ultimately, the goal is for the local people to see the value in stewarding the land and change their perception of the eagle from a pest to an asset. For more information: jeepneyprojects.org
