Problem
Threatened species of Aquila heliaca
Other Names:
Threatened species of Imperial eagleEndangered species of Iberian imperial eagle
Threatened Spanish eagle
Adalbert's eagle under threat
Nature:
Aquila heliaca suffers as a result of persecution, disturbance while breeding, poisoning (targeted at canids), zoo collecting, habitat loss (and the attendant loss of prey species), agricultural pesticides, felling of nest trees, and collision with or electrocution by power- lines.
Incidence:
There has been a rapid decline of Aquila heliaca in Europe since 1950 (where the current total lies between 320 and 570 pairs). The world population is now down to a few thousand pairs.
Aquila heliaca is considered as "Vulnerable" by the IUCN. CITES lists it as "Appendix 2".
