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. There is no reason to think they won’t succeed here as well.

You will be a better educated falconer if you can take a bird from the wild.

The proposal enhances an important part of falconry heritage, which is recognized by UNESCO as “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity”.
