Peregrine FundBoise, ID, 83709 208-362-3716 URL : http://www.peregrinefund.org overview : an organization founded in 1970 by Tom Cade who was then a Professor of Ornithology at Cornell University. The Peregrine Fund developed naturally from the shared concern of students and associates that the Peregrine Falcon might go extinct in the wild if nothing was done. - Our initial work was to learn how to breed falcons in captivity, with the idea the young could be released in the wild to re-establish the Peregrine in the eastern United States where it was already gone and to bolster the greatly diminished western populations. |
