The
Peregrine Fund
| The
Peregrine Fund was founded in 1970 by Tom Cade, a professor of Ornithology
at Cornell University. There was a shared concern of students and
associates that the Peregrine Falcon might go extinct in the wild if
nothing was done. Their 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 Falcon in the United States.
