As eagle feeds on squirrels, an increase in the number of eagles, will obviously lead to a decrease in the number of squirrels.
If eagle population was declining, then squirrel population must have been on a rise. Implementation of this new law will keep squirrel population in check, and help in conservation of eagles.
