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. 

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 a high risk of going extinct in the next 50 years. 

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 raptor species.

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. 

There is hope in conservation, but we have to work together. Welcome to a community of members and supporters who believe we can change the world through thoughtful engagement and evidence-based solutions.

Our Mission:

To conserve birds of prey worldwide.

Our Vision:

• Raptor populations and their ecosystems thrive.
• Human communities are enriched by our work, and raptors are valued by all humans.
• We serve as the global expert on birds of prey and their conservation.

Our Approach: TPF Complete Conservation™

TPF Complete Conservation™ is our award-winning model for bringing species back from the brink of extinction. Rather than addressing birds in isolation, we take a holistic approach that encompasses scientific research, habitat and ecosystem management, and deep investment in the local communities and conservation leaders who make long-term protection possible. It is the philosophy behind every program we run, on every continent where we work, and it is why our results endure.

Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility Statement

The Peregrine Fund is dedicated to conserving birds of prey worldwide for the benefit of all wildlife and humans. Collectively, we realize that to achieve a truly healthy planet, diversity within our teams is as important as the diversity of wildlife across the landscapes we are conserving.

 

Our differences are essential, and everyone is equally important to our success as a global organization. We all contribute to conservation with the skills, resources, and abilities we possess and are always in pursuit of greater knowledge and understanding. We commit to creating inclusive opportunities, to celebrate diversity, to deliver equitable support, and to promote accessibility.
