However, DDT and its residues washed into nearby waterways, where aquatic plants and fish absorbed it. Bald eagles, in turn, were poisoned with DDT when they ate the contaminated fish. By 1963, with only 487 nesting pairs of bald eagles remaining, the species was in danger of extinction, so in 1972,&nbsp; The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) issued a cancellation order for DDT based on its adverse environmental effects. The bald eagle population started to re-grow, and in 2007 the government announced the recovery of our nation\u2019s symbol and removal from the list of threatened and endangered species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.endangered.org\/10-easy-things-you-can-do-to-save-endangered-species\/\">10 Easy Things You Can Do To Save Endangered Species<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Playwright<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elaine Avila is a Canadian\/U.S. writer of Azorean Portuguese descent.
