White-tailed eagles were historically widespread across the British Isles, but human persecution and habitat alterations led to their extinction by the early 20th century. Reintroductions have already happened in Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Wight, with additional releases anticipated (England) or being considered (Wales). Little is known about what biodiversity was lost, rendering it unclear how similar the released Norwegian eagles are to the extinct UK population, and whether reintroductions should ideally draw from a different or wider geographic/genetic background. Furthermore, ecological and genetic monitoring of white-tailed eagle introductions is currently not unified across the British Isles.

白尾海雕历史上广泛分布于不列颠群岛，但人类的迫害和栖息地的改变导致它们在 20 世纪初灭绝。爱尔兰、苏格兰和怀特岛已经重新引入，预计（英格兰）或正在考虑（威尔士）进行更多释放。人们对失去的生物多样性知之甚少，因此不清楚被释放的挪威鹰与已灭绝的英国种群有多么相似，也不清楚重新引入是否应该从不同的或更广泛的地理/遗传背景中理想地汲取。此外，英伦三岛目前对白尾海雕引进的生态和基因监测尚未统一。
