The bald eagle, the national bird of the United States, is experiencing a remarkable recovery from being endangered, largely due to the ban on DDT in 1972 and active conservation efforts. Recently, New Jersey announced the delisting of the bald eagle, which has seen its population grow from just one nesting pair in the state decades ago to approximately 300 today. This resurgence is not only a testament to effective conservation programs but also aligns culturally, as exemplified by President Biden's recent legislation recognizing the bald eagle, and coincides with the Philadelphia Eagles' push for a Super Bowl championship.
The bald eagle, America's national bird, has made a remarkable comeback since being taken off the endangered species list after the banning of DDT in 1972.
New Jersey's recent decision to delist the bald eagle as endangered reflects a wider trend of recovery, with the state's eagle population increasing from a single nesting pair to around 300.
