Thanks for reading!!!!

What do we think is the future of the bald eagle?

The bald eagle was once in a time where everyone thought its numbers were going to be reduced to 0. But then, they decided to do something about it. So now, the future of the bald eagle is a bright one. And at least for the next fifty years, there is no chance our country will have an extinct bird as our national bird.

What do we think could help protect the bald eagle?

I think that if the government made a harsher punishment for eagle hunting, it wouldn't be done as often. They could also put cameras in the more populated bald eagle areas so if one is hunted and killed we would know who did it.

Has there been any effort to protect the bald eagle?

There has been a big effort to protect the bald eagle! For example, in 1940 the Bald Eagle Protection Act was passed. That made it illegal to possess (without a permit), kill, harass, or sell bald eagles. Another thing that was killing many eagles was the use of the pesticide DDT. Luckily, it was banned by EPA in 1972.

What would happen if bald eagles went extinct?

It would actually be very bad if they went extinct. The bald eagle is a fishing eagle, so it catches the fish then takes it out into the trees or wherever they eat it. Then the leftover bits of fish get fertilized directly into the soil, or decomposers break it down and release nutrients that fertilize the plants. So if bald eagles went extinct the plants would become less fertile which means that the consumers who eat the producers will have to eat more to get their fill, the plants will run out, and any animal that eats those animals will become extinct as well until the whole food chain is out of whack.

What do we think is the future of the mangroves?

The answer to that question depends. If people don't realize that the mangrove is going extinct like we did with the bald eagle, then my guess is that by 2030 there will be less than 1,000 acres of mangroves left. But if we continue to do things to help them and restore part of the everglades, then the mangroves have a bright future and will continue to live and thrive in the world.
