The Andaman serpent eagle faces threats from habitat loss due to deforestation and human encroachment. While specific recovery programs are limited, conservation efforts often focus on protecting its forest habitat. Responsible safari tourism can help by raising awareness and providing economic incentives for local communities to protect the natural environment, which in turn safeguards the eagle's home.
The Andaman serpent eagle, also known as the Andaman dark-serpent eagle or the dark serpent eagle, is a medium-sized bird in the family Accipitridae, the raptor family, that is only found in India on the Andaman Islands. It is currently classified as vulnerable and is experiencing population declines. This species, unlike the Crested serpent eagle, is incredibly understudied and so many things about its behaviour and ecology are still widely unknown.
