Since then, the population of golden eagles has quadrupled, and experts believe this number is sufficient for the species to survive in the wild. However, due to ongoing threats to their habitat, the experts plan to relocate the golden eagles 1,500 miles to a region where the bald eagle, a different species, is thriving. The experts predict that this relocation will ensure the long-term survival of the golden eagles.
