The Center for Conservation Biology is a self-funded member of the College of William and Mary community. While we enjoy the many benefits of association with colleagues at the university, all of our funding comes from outside sources. We sincerely appreciate your support. The most effective way of supporting our conservation programs is with a direct gift of cash. You can either mail a check to The Center for Conservation Biology (CCB) at the address below, or make an online donation with your credit card by clicking the "Support CCB" link at the right to access the secure donation form.

SUPPORT PEREGRINE FALCONS IN VIRGINIA To a large extent, the recovery of peregrine falcons in Virginia is the result of past and ongoing management efforts. Establishment of nesting structures has greatly increased opportunities for the breeding population. Maintenance of nest boxes has increased the number of young produced. What we know about the breeding population is the result of an intensive monitoring effort. All of these ongoing activities require financial support. The Center for Conservation Biology is looking for individuals, organizations, and corporations that are interested in contributing to the future of Virginia's peregrine falcon population. Funds are needed for the following programs. *ANNUAL POPULATION MANAGEMENT* Each year, the Center for Conservation Biology performs various management activities on behalf of the peregrine falcon breeding population in Virginia. Funds are needed on an annual basis for personnel, travel, and building materials. FALCONTRAK FalconTrak is a cooperative project designed to answer a collection of questions about the movements and survival of Virginia peregrines. The project utilizes satellite telemetry to track young falcons throughout their annual cycle. Solar-powered satellite transmitters will be fitted to the back of peregrines before fledging. These birds will be tracked for a period of 3 years to determine survivorship, movement patterns, and eventual breeding locations. Funds are needed for satellite transmitters, satellite tracking time, personnel, and travel. We are looking for individuals, organizations, and corporations that are interested in sponsoring a young falcon.
