The magnificently powerful harpy eagle is one of the largest in the world. Recently sighted in a rainforest in southern Mexico where it was believed to be locally extinct, Indigenous communities and conservationists wholeheartedly celebrate the critically endangered harpy eagle's presence.

Through a special educational program, local participants engage in regular field visits and wildlife monitoring. They've received training and equipment to aid in the effort. Harpy eagles face pressure from logging and agricultural expansion. Their food web is threatened too. Creatures like monkeys and sloths that harpy eagles rely on for food must be protected as well. Plant and animal nutrition that monkeys and sloths count on are also necessary for the harpy eagle's survival. Trees are absolutely vital to nesting harpy eagles. Burt Awelagte's perchedĀ Eagle has been sculpted from a gorgeous sandstone to a size of approximately 3 1/2" tall, 2 1/4" wide and 3 1/2" long. Watchful eyes are from turquoise set to a turned head. An offering necklace contains pretty green turquoise and warm amber beads.
