Where? Where? Wedgie! Day 6 : 20-05-2023

Unfortunately, eagles are faced with so many threats that it took us TWO videos to cover them all! Because they travel big distances, they come across lots of different things which can cause them problems.

Here's the first - a wide variety of problems that lead to eagles dying. The second one is about threats when they're breeding.

In 2018, Andrew and James got to talk to some of the people trying to figure out how to make things better. You can watch their chat with Ed at TasNetworks.

And here's their chat with Chris of Woolnorth wind farms. 

How can *you* help? Just understanding the problems is a good start. So have a great time watching all the videos - and you can also learn more about how we can take care around all of Tasmania's threatened species on the Threatened Species Link website.

DAY 6 RESOURCE FOR TEACHERS:

• Threats Part 1 >>

Activity: Eagles sometimes run into powerlines and wind turbines. They can also be hit by fast moving vehicles on the road too. Can you design something to help them out? One year a student designed a helmet that eagles could wear to protect them better! What's your craziest and most creative solution?

Go further: Sketch it on paper, label the parts and explain how it works.
