Sadly, it is much easier to create a desert then to create a forest.
James Lovelock
The future will either be green or not at all.
Bob Brown
I'd like to be a tiger roaming the jungle or an eagle soaring the sky.
Sol Campbell

William Henry Hudson
Eagle Restoration
Our national symbol, the Bald Eagle, was close to extinction throughout it's entire range forty years ago. The Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) estimated that in the whole state of Colorado there were only three known eagle nests by the end of the 1970s. Loss of habitat, illegal hunting, and most of all, the use of DDT contributed to the devastation of eagles.
DDT was banned in 1972 and incidentally not long after that the numbers of eagles started to increase. Now the state is host to 200 eagle nests. Additionally protection was provided by the Protected Species Act. In 2007 eagles were taken off of the list of protected species.
Now in Colorado there are 800 eagles mid-winter in spite of building and population growth. Colorado is a popular place for eagles to winter-over. Nationally the eagle population jumped from a low point of 427 to 9,879 in twenty-three years. Restoration and habitat improvement pays off.
