On June 28, 2007, the bald eagle, America’s national symbol, was officially removed from the list of threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act. This milestone reflected decades of conservation efforts, including habitat protection and the banning of harmful pesticides like DDT. The recovery of the bald eagle population from the brink of extinction is a powerful example of successful wildlife conservation and has become a symbol of hope and resilience in environmental stewardship.
