| Description |
International Association for Falconry & Conservation of Birds of Prey (IAF) is dedicated to the preservation of the ancient art of falconry, a hunting tradition defined as ‘taking quarry in itsnnatural state and habitat by means of trained birds of prey‘. Preserving falconry involves maintaining not only the traditional culture that builds practical skills of empathy with animals, butnalso the conservation of raptors and their prey through preservation of natural habitats. We therefore encourage falconry within the context of sustainable use of wildlife. In light of thisnintangible culture, we challenge communities, children and young falconers to engage the environmental conservation activities based on our international education programme (such as School Links Programme) and other main projects for each country. |
