Leadership
J. Peter Jenny
President and CEO
Named President and CEO in November 2006. Previously, he was
Vice President for 18 years. His work with The Peregrine Fund
began in 1970 in the eastern Canadian Arctic where he collected
some of the first Peregrine Falcons to be used for captive
breeding. After graduating from the University of Montana with a
zoology degree, he pioneered the organization's involvement in
the Neotropics with research on the
Orange-breasted Falcon. A
staunch advocate of cooperative approaches and private sector
participation, he helped design and implement a Safe Harbor
Program to recover the endangered
Aplomado Falcon on private
land in Texas.

in 1990 to start up new projects in Africa and in 1998 was
promoted to direct the Fund's conservation work internationally.
He graduated from the University of Bangor in North Wales with a
degree in Marine Zoology and later earned a doctorate in raptor
ecology from the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa.
He conducted post-doctoral research in Namibia, followed by a
variety of field positions in the United States.
