😍😍😍. CUTE OWL BIRD LOVE😊😊☺️😊

The wild European Eagle Owl population was estimated at 19,000- 38,000 pairs in 2004; the Asian population is unknown. There have, however, been declines in local populations, as well as regional extinctions. Overall population density is low as habitat loss has taken a significant toll on the species. Additionally, poisoning via agricultural pesticides and deaths through road traffic and barbed wire are also threats.

Eagle owls have been protected from international trade by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) since 1977. Legal protection in many parts of Europe has helped some populations to recover, as have captive breeding and reintroduction programs.
