Junmar Querijero
Jumar belongs to an indigenous group called Alta. He has been leading a team of volunteer forest guards and actively participates in all of Rainforest Trust’s project activities to help protect the Philippine Eagle in their ancestral domain. He is awed by this majestic Haring Ibon or “King of Birds” and believes he has seen one close to their sacred ground, where giant bats roost. After completing training and applying the skills that he learned in environmental law enforcement, participatory resource inventory-taking and 3D mapping in the community of Diteki, he is a proud trainer of other community members.
