Mission
The Peregrine Fund's goals are to restore species in jeopardy (also known as endangered species), conserve habitat, educate students, train conservationists, provide factual information to the public, and enhance local capacity for science and conservation in developing countries through education. It currently is involved in recovery of the California Condor and Aplomado Falcon in the United States and a variety of raptors in Central America, South America, West Indies, Madagascar, Asia, East Africa, and the Philippines. www.peregrinefund.org
