Japan, Russia to cooperate to save endangered eagles

TOKYO, Japan - File photo shows an endangered Steller's sea eagle flying over drift ice off the town of Rausu on Japan's northernmost main island of Hokkaido. The Russian Natural Resources Ministry announced Feb. 26 that experts from Japan and Russia will cooperate to carry out a conservation project to artificially breed the eagles in a zoo in Sapporo, Hokkaido, and release them in Russia's Sakhalin Province, where the birds breed. The bird is said to be the world's heaviest eagle.
