You can help New Zealand falcon/kārearea
There are several ways you can help New Zealand falcon in your area:
Support a falcon conservation organisation
Adult male bush falcon
Wingspan Birds of Prey Trust website
Cares for sick, injured and orphaned raptors. This includes research, captive breeding, public awareness work and rehabilitating raptors back into the wild.
Marlborough Falcon Conservation Trust website
Formed to take action to help conserve the New Zealand falcon and return it to its original range.
Control predators
Control predators (cats, hedgehogs, stoats, weasels, ferrets and rats) on your property if it has falcon nesting habitats. Eggs and nestlings are more likely to survive and there will be more food available.
Don't shoot
Don't shoot falcons! If you are experiencing problems call your local DOC office.
Keep away from nests
Falcons defend their nests actively and may dive bomb people up to 400 m from the nest. If this occurs, simply move away until the attack stops. Don't attempt to strike a falcon as you are likely to injure it and place it and the falcon chicks in danger.
Build the falcon fan club
Tell other people about how special falcons are so they learn to appreciate them.
