In 1895, he lost a hundred birdskins when the London-bound steamer S.S. Weiland caught fire off Singapore. He dutifully returned to the island of Samar to replace his lost collection. On this repeat expedition, he fortuitously collected a specimen of the great Philippine eagle, which was later named <em>Pithecophaga jefferyi<\/em> after his father and sponsor, Jeffrey Whitehead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What would Whitehead\u2019s Ark look like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mica Cabildo undertook a ten-week residency at Gasworks London\/UK in early 2020 to research on John Whitehead and his Philippine ornithological discoveries. Through a rediscovery of the Whitehead specimens, a thorough reading of his field-notes, and comparison with contemporary methods, Mica intended to create a \u201cWhitehead\u2019s Ark\u201d that can speak about loss of biodiversity, threat of mass extinction, and the imbalance of power behind scientific discovery, conservation, and survival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>British naturalist and explorer John Whitehead collected several birds in the Philippines and explored the forests and highlands of Mindoro, Northern Luzon, and Visayas in &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":52,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-from-the-gasworks-residency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mica-cabildo.com\/whiteheads-ark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mica-cabildo.com\/whiteheads-ark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mica-cabildo.com\/whiteheads-ark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mica-cabildo.com\/whiteheads-ark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mica-cabildo.com\/whiteheads-ark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/mica-cabildo.com\/whiteheads-ark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":323,"href":"https:\/\/mica-cabildo.com\/whiteheads-ark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1\/revisions\/323"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mica-cabildo.com\/whiteheads-ark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mica-cabildo.com\/whiteheads-ark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mica-cabildo.com\/whiteheads-ark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mica-cabildo.com\/whiteheads-ark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
