The Peregrine Fund

We created our first conservation breeding facility in 1970 to learn how to sustain the dwindling Peregrine Falcon population in North America. Until then, raptors had only rarely hatched in human care, and certainly not at a scale large enough to restore a species.

Among the many challenges of species-based conservation is the need to determine which species require intervention. We estimate there are about 600 raptor species, and many have never been studied, much less monitored or counted. In concert with the IUCN "Red List," we are designing the Global Raptor Impact Network (GRIN), a new tool to gather data and analyze the abundance, distribution, and threats to species in real time.

Conservation, Science, and Land Management Organizations

We often partner with non-governmental conservation organizations on conservation projects, whether it's to conserve identified species such as the monarch butterfly or to advise on land acquisition for conservation so that it has the greatest benefit for species.

Non-Governmental Organizations

Here we partner with a wider variety of other organizations on projects to meet shared conservation goals.
