I have a colleague who is a licensed falconer and assists in rescuing and nurturing injured birds of prey
I support the proposal for the following reasons:
Falconers have played an important role in raptor conservation and by allowing more falconers to have access to wild birds, the MNRF is encouraging more active conservation and citizen science.
The MNRF is adopting an approach that has been used successfully in other provinces and U.S. states. It is overdue here in Ontario.
The proposal enhances an important part of falconry heritage, which is recognized by UNESCO as “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity”
