Position Statements and Commentaries

The Peregrine Fund is not an advocacy organization and does not participate in partisan politics. From time to time, however, it becomes necessary to clear up misunderstandings related to our work and to correct distortions of our fact-based actions on behalf of birds of prey. Read our point of view on a variety of issues, particularly the effects of spent lead ammunition on the health of condors, wildlife, and humans.
