The Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) can be found
throughout most the world. Once widespread in Poland,
it never occurred in large numbers. Although in the 1960s
the species was extinct in Poland, at least ten pairs of
falcons live now in our country. Credit for the recovery of the
population can be attributed to the efforts of falconers
and conservationists.
The species is now legally protected and has been included
in the Polish Red Data Book of Animals, a publication which
lists the endangered species. Measures to protect Peregrines were
established as long ago as the Middle Ages. In fact, the Peregrine,
on account of its significance to falconry, was one of the first
protected species, besides Beaver, Aurochs and European Bison.
