Did you know that “Hacking” helped save the Peregrine Falcons from extinction? Yes! The Peregrine Falcon was listed as an endangered species in 1970 because of the use of DDT in agriculture. When DDT was banned in the US, the Peregrine Falcon conservation projects of recovery became successful. In August 1999, the Peregrine Falcon was removed from the endangered species list.
According to the Center for Biology. “Hacking is the controlled release of young falcons from artificial eyrie, was developed centuries ago by falconers as means of building flight skills and strength prior to actual training. This technique has proven to be a very useful tool for reintroduction of peregrines and many other species to the wild. The hacking process involves the use of a hack box to house birds during the preflight period, the release of birds, the provisioning of birds before and after fledging, and the monitoring of young falcons to independence. All of these maintenance activities are performed by a team of hack attendants.”
