For over 50 years, The Peregrine Fund has worked to conserve birds of prey. Today,
56% of raptors are in decline globally, 32% are Threatened or Near Threatened,
and 17 species are Critically Endangered, with the high risk of going extinct in the
next 50 years.
As top predators, birds of prey serve as indicators of ecosystem health while
providing essential services like rodent control and disease prevention through
carrion removal.
We need raptors, and raptors need us.
Together with our global partners and supporters, we tackle threats such as
pollution, deforestation, and human–wildlife conflict, in addition to the expertise
we provide in science and conservation specific to birds of prey. The result is a
better world for raptors and the rest of us. The Peregrine Fund relies on science
to inform conservation actions that save species.
We repopulated a continent with Peregrine Falcons in just 30 years, doubled the
population of Critically Endangered Ridgway’s Hawks in the Dominican Republic,
and identified and addressed the cause of the Asian Vulture Crisis in the mid-2000s.
Today, we work across five continents on behalf of all 561 species.
There is hope in conservation, but we must work together. Join us and our
community of members and supporters who believe we can change the world
through thoughtful engagement and evidence-based solutions.
