Neotropical Raptor Conservation Program

Published 12 June 2008

The Neotropical Raptor Conservation Program (NRCP) has grown to become the largest component of The Peregrine Fund’s international programs, dedicated to research and conservation of the one-third of the world’s birds of prey that occur within the Caribbean and Central and South America. The program’s main office is Fondo Peregrino-Panamá (FPP), where biologists, educators, and administrators work together toward this common goal.

If raptors at the top of the food chain can survive, so will many species in the food web below. This “umbrella” approach drives our conservation work in the Neotropics, home to some of the world’s most diverse resident and wintering bird communities. From warblers to raptors, native and migrating birds seek refuge and food in the Caribbean and Central and South America.

Their search for refuge and food is increasingly difficult due to an alarming rate of habitat loss driven by complex forces in the global economy.
