Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act

The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act is a U.S. law that safeguards these two iconic bird species from harm and disturbance. It makes it illegal to kill, capture, sell, or possess eagles or their parts without special permission. The law also protects their nests and habitats, ensuring these birds remain a vital part of the natural environment. Exceptions exist for specific activities like research or and conservation, but overall, the act aims to prevent the decline of eagle populations and preserve their role in America's wilderness.
