Researchers take up the cause of the mysterious and maligned Chaco eagle
The distribution of the Chaco eagle, or crowned eagle, spans from southern Brazil to central Argentina.
Fewer than 1,000 mature birds are thought to exist in the wild, where they face threats from drowning, electrocution, shooting, poisoning, and habitat loss.

Their efforts have led to some notable successes, including reductions in shooting and drowning incidents, but they say there’s still much work left to do.
