The impressive white-tailed eagle is one of the largest birds of prey in Central Europe. Although it is a strong, swift and noble animal, these characteristics did not save it from edging close to extinction. \u201cWhen I started at university around 17 years ago, there were only a few hundred white-tailed eagles in Germany,\u201d\u202frecalls Robert Marc Lehmann.\u202f<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-image align_none\"><a ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heroes-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220127_Robert-Marc-Lehmann_\u00a9Paula-Kormos_Beitragsbild.jpg\" aria-label=\"20220127_Robert Marc Lehmann_\u00a9Paula Kormos_Beitragsbild\" class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heroes-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220127_Robert-Marc-Lehmann_\u00a9Paula-Kormos_Beitragsbild.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Robert Marc Lehman kniet mit Kamera in der Hand auf dem Boden\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heroes-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220127_Robert-Marc-Lehmann_\u00a9Paula-Kormos_Beitragsbild.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.heroes-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220127_Robert-Marc-Lehmann_\u00a9Paula-Kormos_Beitragsbild-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">After being hunted by humans and due to poisoning with the agricultural insecticide DDT, the entire species was almost eradicated in Central and Western Europe. It was only the prohibition of DDT in the early 1970s and a series of other safeguarding measures, such as protections for nesting sites and winter feeding, that helped the white-tailed eagle population to recover. \u201cToday, there are around 800 breeding pairs in Germany. Of course, I\u2019m delighted that one of the most beautiful birds we have in Germany is back again,\u201d enthuses Lehmann.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe white-tailed eagle\u2019s comeback story is the result of huge efforts from many environmentalists and conservationists, such as Fred Bollmann. He also helped me to shoot this photo,\u201d recalls the natural photographer. \u201cFred threw up an eel and the eagle caught it in flight.\u201d The tale with the eel (German: Aal) is also the origin of Bollmann\u2019s nickname, Aalfred.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The impressive white-tailed eagle is one of the largest birds of prey in Central Europe.
