Seeking input on the Peregrine Falcon Management Plan

Initiative: 
Management Plan for the Peregrine Falcon
Deadline: 
28 Jul 2015

From the Species at Risk Recovery Unit, Canadian Wildlife Service:

We are writing to let you know that Environment Canada has developed a proposed Management Plan for the Peregrine Falcon, a species listed as Special Concern under the federal Species at Risk Act.  

The Peregrine Falcon is a medium-to-large falcon with long, pointed wings.  Over 60% of the North American breeding range of the Peregrine Falcon lies in Canada, occurring in all provinces and territories except Prince Edward Island.  Peregrine Falcons generally nest on cliff ledges or crevices, but are highly adaptable in nest site selection. Please see the enclosed Summary of the Proposed Management Plan to learn more about this species.

The proposed Management Plan for the Peregrine Falcon in Canada was posted on the Species at Risk Registry on May 29, 2015 for a 60-day public comment period, which ends July 28, 2015.  Following the end of this public comment period, we will finalize the document based upon all of the input and comments received. The final document will then be posted on the Species at Risk Registry.

Environment Canada is committed to working with interested parties to help species at risk to recover, and your support will help make this strategy a success.   We invite you to provide feedback on this recovery planning document in one of the following ways:
