The Iberian Imperial Eagle is a bird known as a symbol of strength and power.

Yet this magnificent species, which only nests in Portugal and in Spain, has suffered an enormous decline in Portugal and was considered extinct there until a few years ago. Today only 2 to 4 pairs are thought to breed in the country.

But more than the future of a species is at stake.

The Iberian Imperial Eagle is a symbol of nature conservation and biodiversity as a whole:


* The eagles' habitat is the cork and holm oak landscapes in southern Portugal, which are also home to a rich diversity of other amazing species, such as the critically endangered Iberian Lynx.

* It is here that the eagle hunts its main prey: the wild rabbit. Yet the decline of the wild rabbit population due to disease and the loss of its natural habitat has meant that the Imperial Eagle in Portugal is under threat yet again.

Thank you for taking action. Your Passport is now stamped. I'm number 7408.
The American Bald Eagle was on a severe decline, the symbol of our Nation. With protection and hard work it has made a wonderful comeback. In hopes the Iberian Eagle will be able to do the same, however I'd say time is running out.
