Abstract:

The National Wildlife Federation has called upon the nation to observe 1982 as the Year of the Eagle to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the selection of the bald eagle as its national symbol. The bald eagle is now an endangered species throughout most of the country due to pesticides, contaminants, and shooting.
