Dear Minister, My name is Matthew Di Gregorio and I am from Mazenod College, Mulgrave. We are currently doing an assignment on endangered animals and I have chosen the Wedge Tailed Eagle. Wedge Tailed Eagles are not in danger of becoming extinct any time soon, but there are lots of threats depleting their numbers that, if not stopped, will one day lead to extinction. Firstly, the clearing of forests has limited the amount of nesting areas for them, thus decreasing their population. Another threat is road kill. Wedge Tailed Eagles eat carrion, especially road kill. While on the road eating, they often become road kill themselves. In Tasmania, Wedge Tailed Eagles are isolated from the main land and are developed separately. They are critically endangered with only two pairs left. This is due to habitat loss, nest disturbances and being killed by trapping and shooting. To help protect the Wedge Tailed Eagle we need to stop cutting down forest and when you see road kill, to take it to the side of the road to avoid collisions with cars and Wedge Tailed Eagles while they are eating. Thank you for reading my letter, I hope you take these points into consideration. Yours sincerely, Matthew Di Gregorio
