🚨 Calling all falconers! 🚨

The IAF needs your help to protect and understand the dynamics and threats facing wild Saker falcons!

In collaboration with the Convention on Migratory Species Raptors MoU, we’re conducting a crucial survey on the use of Saker falcons across their range states (countries where the Saker falcon breeds, migrates, or winters).

🔍 We need as many responses as possible from falconers and trappers from range states!

The survey takes just 5 minutes and is available in multiple languages: English, Arabic, French, Russian, Chinese, Urdu, and more to come!

Your participation helps the IAF gather valuable insights and strengthens our global voice in safeguarding falcons and sustainable use practices.

Take the survey now and spread the word! Let’s make a difference together. 🙌

This is vintage Newt right here. He was eating when I tuned in to the cam. They apparently make some audible noise that he reacts to, so he hid behind his perch!!!
