New Jersey is celebrating a significant conservation success, proposing to remove the bald eagle from the state’s endangered species list after witnessing a dramatic recovery. From just one nesting pair in the 1980s, the population has soared to 267 pairs, showcasing the effectiveness of persistent wildlife protection efforts. This milestone indicates that the bald eagle, along with the osprey, has reached a stable population level, ensuring their survival is no longer at risk. This remarkable rebound highlights the positive impact of dedicated conservation initiatives and brings hope for future wildlife recovery projects.
