Save the Harpy eagle
Rare, powerful, and majestic, the harpy eagle symbolises nature’s precious patrimony which we must protect.
The number of these birds is diminishing due to trafficking, poaching, and the destruction of the forest areas that make up their habitat.
The shooting of one harpy eaglet significantly threatens the survival of the species, given that a couple of adults can only have one baby every three to four years.
The region of our operations is located south of the Amazonian forest and covers 6 Brazilian States: Mato Grosso, Para, Tocantins, Maranhão, Piaui, and Bahia.
In the field, Nordesta is developing a vast environmental awareness program through a number of long-term actions.
It is essential to reach the inhabitants of rural areas who are in direct contact with nature, such as small farmers and their families or teachers and their students. In order to do this we reach out to inform and educate these people, as well as offering them economic support, because most of them live in a state of great poverty.
