The proposal to expand wild take of raptors by falconers should be approved because it causes no harm to the wildlife resource and encourages conservation of raptors. ""In the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught." Falconers' love and understanding of raptors was the guiding force that saved the peregrine falcon from extinction. They donated their falcons and gave countless years of their lives to save peregrines. Increased take of wild raptors by falconers may find future threats to wildlife. That awareness and love may be what saves what we all treasure.
