Mountain Hawk-Eagle

• It is one of the most powerful forest raptors in Asia: it can bring down prey weighing several kilos, including hares, pheasants and young monkeys, hunting in short, precise flights inside the forest.
• The Japanese subspecies is one of the country's flagship species for forest conservation, and several woodland management schemes are designed around its breeding territories.
• It raises a single chick every two years and needs continuous mature forest, which makes it a direct indicator of the quality of Asian montane woodland.
