“No Safe Exposure: Rehabilitating America’s Eagles” features compelling, never-before-seen footage of the inspiring work of wildlife rehabilitators as they treat injured eagles and help them return to the skies. Rehabilitators featured in the film help viewers understand the unintentional threats that lead sporting equipment, such as ammunition and fishing tackle, can pose to bald and golden eagles. Footage showcasing eagles in the wild, those undergoing treatment for illness and injury, and eagles being released following care inspires viewers and creates a sense of responsibility, compassion, and awe for these magnificent creatures.
Eagles deal with significant challenges, including habitat loss, poisoning (especially from lead), diseases like highly pathogenic avian influenza, mortality from wind turbine strikes, and illegal shootings. Not all of these threats are easily addressed, but preventing lead poisoning is a goal that is within reach. There Is Reason for Hope. Licensed wildlife rehabilitators are on the front lines of treating eagles and other wildlife. It is inspiring to see that, with expert treatment, some injured or ill eagles can regain their ability to soar. Additionally, rehabilitators are involved in efforts to prevent eagles from contracting illnesses, particularly lead poisoning. They are also partnering with state wildlife agencies to promote a greater understanding of lead poisoning in wildlife and what we can all do to help keep eagles healthy for current and future generations. The film concludes with footage of rehabilitated eagles being released into the wild.
