Goals:

Increase knowledge on the conservation status and ecology of raptors in the Asia-Pacific region, and develop capacity for research and conservation.

Background:

Much remains to be learned about the raptors of Asia, especially the large number of endemic species in the islands of South East Asia. This project aims to tackle this research need by providing support and training to local students, and funding research projects with grants, as needed and possible. Priority is given to studies on little-known or endangered species or projects that help develop local capacity for conservation and research.

Recent Results:

Projects have been supported to survey for Pallas’s Fish Eagle in Mongolia, study the ecology of Grey-headed Fish Eagles in Cambodia, document the distribution of birds of prey in Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, record knowledge of the Javan Hawk Eagle on Mt. Merapi volcano, Indonesia, and discover the winter distribution of Chinese Goshawks on Indonesian Papua. Reports on each of these projects are available from our library under “The Peregrine Fund Reports Series.”
