Decisions that influence the future and health of sensitive populations and ecosystems are made on a daily basis. In order for policy makers, land planners and land managers to make the best use of our natural resources, it is important that they have direct access to recent research findings. The Center for Conservation Biology is committed to making research findings available to appropriate audiences as soon as possible. Here we provide a listing of recent CCB publications that involve bald eagles.
