The SYMBOL of AMERICA flies again in Missouri
The bald eagle, a symbol of America, is making a comeback in Missouri.
The state's bald eagle population has increased from just 2 nesting pairs in 1975 to over 200 nesting pairs today.
The bald eagle was once on the brink of extinction in Missouri. In 1952, there were only two nesting pairs left in the state.
However, thanks to the efforts of conservationists, the bald eagle population has rebounded in recent years.
In 1973, the Endangered Species Act was passed, which provided protection for the bald eagle and other threatened and endangered species.
In addition, the Missouri Department of Conservation has implemented a number of programs to help the bald eagle population grow.
These programs include habitat restoration, nest monitoring, and public education.
As a result of these efforts, the bald eagle population in Missouri is now thriving.
The bald eagle is a powerful symbol of America. It is a reminder of our country's strength, freedom, and independence.
The bald eagle's comeback in Missouri is a testament to the power of conservation.
