The island fox, listed in 2004 as a federally endangered species, is approaching biological recovery on Santa Cruz and San Miguel Islands within Channel Islands National Park. Four of the six subspecies of island fox declined by over 90% in the late 1990s. The cause of the decline on the northern Channel Islands was predation by golden eagles. Since 1999 a total of 44 golden eagles have been live-captured and relocated to the mainland. Today, with over 1,700 foxes in the wild, the island fox population is on the road to recovery.
