The White-tailed Eagle

Episode 5 of 5

Rob Newman tell the story of the near-extinction of the white-tailed eagle from the skies of the United Kingdom. And what we can learn from their triumphant return.

Rob Newman tells the story of a species we very nearly lost forever, and asks what we can learn from their triumphant return.

The White-Tailed Eagle went extinct in England in 1780. They held on in Scotland until 1916. In summer 2019, a White-Tailed Eagle flew triumphantly across the British countryside once again. We played a huge role in their near-extinction. Perhaps by understanding what so nearly wiped them out, we can play a role in their return.
