Threats

While wetland degradation and water pollution has affected African fish-eagles in some areas, this species has benefited considerably from the construction of large dams, particularly in Southern Africa (2) (4). Given that its population appears to be stable and widely distributed, the African fish-eagle is not considered to be under any significant threat (9).
