The major threat is loss of habitat from clear cutting, destruction of nesting sites and shooting. Harpy eagles need large tracts of forest to hunt in. Most forests have only one nest every 10 or 15 miles. Each nesting pair has a single chick every two to three years. With such a low density of harpy eagles and their low rate of reproduction, even the smallest pressure on their hunting abilities eliminates them from an area.
Habitat loss due to deforestation and illegal hunting are the main factors contributing to the decline in harpy eagle populations. These majestic birds require large, undisturbed areas of lowland tropical forests to thrive, and human activities are threatening their natural habitat and causing their numbers to decrease. Conservation efforts are vital to protect the harpy eagle from extinction.
