Part 2/7:
One of the emblematic success stories in this region involves the young sea eagles. These magnificent birds of prey almost faced extinction due to historical pollutants and egg theft. But, thanks to the strict enforcement of protective measures and the ban of harmful chemicals like DDT, their populations have rebounded. Today, there are more sea eagles soaring the skies than there were a century ago. Their return represents not only an ecological triumph but also the increasing health of their habitats.
Amid the icy waters, sea eagles have adapted their hunting strategies. They take advantage of frozen lakes where coots gather, enabling them to hunt with greater ease. Observing the experienced eagles, young ones learn the intricacies of hunting—an essential skill for their survival.
