How can you preserve Golden eagles?

Answer 1

Several things needed to be done to halt the decline of bald eagles. One simple way was to enact legislation that would protect them from hunters. The more insidious dangers, however, were not discovered immediately. There was the discovery in the 1970s that certain herbicides and pesticides caused Brittle Shell Syndrome, resulting in very few eagles (and other birds too!) being born. DDT was banned in the United States once this information was made known. As a result, many raptors and other birds now are making a marvelous comeback.

Answer 2

The biggest step toward preventing the extinction of the Bald Eagle was the reduction of the use of DDT in North America. Unfortunately, the chemical is still manufactured and used, although in much smaller amounts.

Additional measures to protect eagles included listing under the Endangered Species Act, which provided for bans on and heavy fines for hunting, poisoning, and destruction of nest trees. These measures led to dramatic increases in the numbers of bald eagles in North and Central America, resulting in the delisting (removal from the US list of threatened species) of the Bald Eagle in 2007.

Eagles are still protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. These Acts prohibits the take, transport, sale, barter, trade, import and export, and possession of eagles, making it illegal for anyone to collect eagles and eagle parts, nests, or eggs without a permit. Native Americans are able to possess these emblems which are traditional in their culture.

Answer 3

While Alaska supports a population of bald eagles greater than that in all of the other states combined, the mountainous regions of Denali, especially north of the Alaska Range, are much better suited to golden eagles. Bald eagles occur in Denali mainly on the south side of the Alaska Range near lakes and rivers, but golden eagles outnumber bald eagles park-wide by 70%.

The golden eagles that breed and raise their young in Denali are migratory. Their annual journeys span eastern Alaska, western Canada, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Plains and northern Mexico. Golden eagles spend mid-March to late September in Denali where territorial pairs reunite, breed, and raise their young. While traditional nesting areas are used for many years, Denali's scientists do not know whether or not the same pairs remain together over their lifetime and use the same nesting area each season.

Golden eagles in Denali usually build their nests on cliffs or rock outcroppings, although a few nests are in trees. Reproduction is influenced by the abundance of prey during the early spring breeding season. Many more pairs of eagles lay eggs and raise young in years when springtime populations of snowshoe hare and willow ptarmigan are abundant than when these important prey species are scarce.

Denali is home to the longest running golden eagle ecology study at high latitudes in North America. Results from this long-term monitoring program are shedding new light on the natural history of these magnificent predatory birds.

Found in many regions around the world, mainly in mountainous areas, the golden eagle will continue to thrive as long as suitable habitat is provided.

Answer 4

Bald eagles are no longer endangered and the populations has grown.

Answer 5

Golden eagles are protected with all Birds of Prey in the US, but each country has their own laws. This species is found in many lands, and is not an endangered species.

Answer 6

Because it is a special symbol of tha U.S

Answer 7

The bald eagle has been restored, due to the banning of DDT, and is no longer an endangered species.
