Bald eagles faced extinction for over 40 years because of a pesticide called DDT.
Freshen up your home screen with our one-of-a-kind wallpaper featuring a bald eagle sitting on a beach.
DDT made it hard for bald eagles to absorb calcium, leading to weak eggshells that broke before hatching. After years of conservation work, bald eagles were no longer considered endangered in 2007.
