Back to EpisodesGolden Eagles Return to English Skies
Description
Golden eagles are set to return to English skies, with the government funding a £1 million project to reintroduce these birds of prey. Forestry England is leading the effort, targeting areas like Northumberland and Yorkshire Dales. The charity Restoring Upland Nature will run the three-year program, aiming to boost nature recovery by controlling foxes and badgers. However, some farmers have concerns about livestock losses, despite experts stating that golden eagles mostly eat carrion. A new feasibility study has identified eight prime release sites, and public consultations with landowners will begin soon. This move is part of larger efforts to revive depleted wildlife in England.
