The Peregrine Fund DBA World Center for Birds of Prey

The Peregrine Fund works globally to conserve biological diversity and enhance environmental health by working with birds of prey, including condors, vultures, owls, eagles, hawks and others. This is accomplished by restoring species in jeopardy, conserving habitat, educating students, training conservationists, providing factual information to the public, and accomplishing scientific investigations. We have assisted on conservation projects in more than 40 countries. We strongly believe in cooperative efforts involving individuals, organizations, corporations, and government. By focusing on birds and their ecological requirements, and providing sufficient protection to sustain viable populations, we are using birds to provide an umbrella of protection for the diversity of life and the entire ecosystem associated with them.

Drawing on past lessons and successes, our vision for the coming decades applies our expertise to emerging and accelerating conservation problems faced by raptors and communities around the globe. It is ambitious, specific, unifying, inspirational, measurable, and—most importantly—empowering to the people and communities who bring it to life.

Conservation program areas include: training of conservationists; education of university students; education of primary and secondary students and the public; development of local organizations; species investigation, restoration, and conservation; research; census and monitoring of wildlife and habitat; habitat preservation and conservation; and reserve establishment and management. We are a hands-on organization, and work to find realistic solutions to environmental problems by focusing on birds for conservation of nature. With our unique conservation tool chest, we employ and adapt strategies to each project's needs.
