Where: Tongass National Forest, Alaska
When: 1998
Photographer: Michael Melford
In 1963 there were only 417 bald eagle breeding pairs left in Tongass National Forest. But due to the eagle's placement on the U.S. endangered species list, strict regulati##被过滤## and intense repopulation efforts, and the banning of certain pesticides, that number has recently risen to 7,678 breeding pairs. This new strength in numbers has led many to argue that the species should be removed from the list.

"To match the firepower of armed cattle raiders, an Ariaal warrior carries a rifle supplied by the government. 'Without guns we'd be sitting ducks,' says Joseph Lekuton, an American-educated Ariaal tribesman. Dependent on cows for the milk and blood that nourish them, the 10,000 Ariaal around Mount Marsabit remain largely nomadic, resisting government pressure to settle."
