"The majestic bird of prey with a 2-metre wingspan has been effectively extinct in England since the last native golden eagle is thought to have died in 2015."
"A study by Forestry England found that England now has the capacity to sustain golden eagle populations once again, identifying eight potential recovery zones."
"The environment secretary, Emma Reynolds, approved £1 million in additional species recovery funding to help pave the way for a programme that could mean juveniles aged six to eight weeks old are released as early as next year."
"This government is committed to protecting and restoring our most threatened native wildlife and that includes bringing back iconic species like the golden eagle."
Golden eagles, once common in England, have been absent for over 150 years due to persecution. A recent study indicates that England can now support golden eagle populations, identifying eight recovery zones primarily in the north. The environment secretary has approved £1 million in funding to aid this reintroduction effort, which may see juvenile eagles released as early as next year. The initiative aims to restore this iconic species to English landscapes, reflecting a commitment to wildlife conservation.
