Additional information

The Philippine eagle (*Pithecophaga jefferyi*) has been critically endangered since at least the 1970s, with fewer than 800 individuals estimated surviving in the wild — a population decline driven almost entirely by deforestation of Mindanao's old-growth forest. Spain's inclusion of the species in its ongoing wildlife conservation series reflects a broader European numismatic trend toward IUCN Red List subjects, though the eagle's historical connection to the former Spanish colonial Philippines lends this particular issue a genealogical logic the others in the series lack.
