The Peregrine Fund's World Center For Birds of Prey

The Peregrine Fund, an international non-profit organization created in 1970 that conserves endangered raptors worldwide, has its headquarters at the World Center for Birds of Prey in Boise, Idaho. The World Center for Birds of Prey, constructed 38 years ago in 1984, is situated on 580 acres (2.3 km2) on a hilltop overlooking Boise, to the south of the airport and to the east of Kuna.

The Velma Morrison Interpretive Center, breeding facilities for threatened raptors, The Peregrine Fund's administrative offices, and the Herrick Collections Building, which holds a sizable research library and the Archives of Falconry, are all located on the property. The Peregrine Fund is renowned for its international work in raptor conservation and rehabilitation.

The peregrine falcon was the subject of the group's initial recovery efforts since it was in danger of going extinct as a result of the widespread use of the pesticide DDT. At a worldwide celebration held in Boise in 1999, the peregrine falcon was taken off the U.S. Endangered Species list.
