Why is the wedge tail eagle endangered?

The wedgetail eagle which lives on the Australian mainland is endangered under the Federal Conservation Act. Within New South Wales, however, its status is "secure". Like most of Australia's species, it has become endangered by the spread of urbanisation and loss of habitat. It is also, sadly, threatened by the effects of dingo-baiting. In the case of the Tasmanian giant wedgetail eagle, this magnificant bird is endangered due to loss of habitat resulting from logging and pulp mills.
