The Lesser Spotted Eagle (Clanga [Aquila] pomarina) is the most endangered German eagle species, and is close to extirpation in the country. Various factors are responsible for the decline of the population, and the shrinking of its distribution to a small area in the east of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and in the north-east of Brandenburg. The most important factor is undoubtedly the deterioration of the hunting habitat, but also changes in the forests in which they nest. In addition, there are new threats, including the large increase in the number and distribution of wind turbines, and the spread of the Raccoon (Procyon lotor).
