POV footage captures eagle descending from world's tallest building

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, March 14 (UPI) -- Conservationists have captured a point-of-view video of an eagle flying from the top of the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in an effort to draw attention to the endangered species.

Freedom Conservation, which produced the video, made the record-breaking flight happen on Saturday. It is the highest recorded bird flight from a man-made structure, according to the BBC. Burj Khalifa is nearly 3,000 feet tall.

"Hunting, poisoning, water pollution, taking eggs and chicks as well as the destruction and disappearance of wetlands are the main dangers that threaten" the white-tailed eagle, the organization's website says.
