Raptors are among the critical components of our natural world and cultural heritage, and they assist humans in understanding their interdependence with nature and the environment. Through our programs, we seek to advance the knowledge of avian biology, ecology, and conservation through research, training and education. As a result, we seek to improve global environmental health and to conserve biological diversity. 0 0 2113765 0 0 Species Restoration - Two endangered species recovery programs are conducted within the U.S. The captive breeding facility in Boise, Idaho produces young birds for release to the wild to establish self-sustaining populations of these rare species. California Condor-by 1982, just 22 California Condors remained on Earth. Today there are 409 individual birds, more than half of them flying free in the wild. This year the 18 pairs held by The Peregrine Fund produced 21 fertile eggs. Fifteen hatched in Boise and the rest were sent to other facilities. Six captive-bred condors were transferred to the Arizona Vermilion Cliffs site for release to the wild and that population now includes 78 individuals. Cooperative programs with state agencies and hunting groups were expanded to encourage the use of lead-free ammunition in condor country. "Ingestion of Lead from Spent Ammunition: Implications for Wildlife and Humans" published in 2009 as a book and searchable CD, is still being referenced. Every condor continues to be trapped once or twice a year to be tested and, if necessary, treated for lead poisoning. Aplomado Falcon-this falcon was missing from its native habitat in the American Southwest by the 1950s due to changing land uses. The Peregrine Fund began raising Aplomado Falcons in captivity in the late 1980's and by 1993 a full-scale release program began in South Texas. Falcons are continuing to be re-introduced through innovative Safe Harbor agreements. This year surveys found 28 pairs of falcons in South Texas and a total of 48 young were produced. For the first time in seven years we released 35 young from two release sites in South Texas. In New Mexico we released 32 falcons from three release sites. No wild pairs were observed in West Texas or New Mexico. The loss of nesting pairs in New Mexico and West Texas can be attributed to the extreme drought conditions throughout the range of the releases. 1650380 377683 90830 Conservation Programs - Since founding in 1970, about 105 raptor species in at least 66 countries have benefitted from field research and hands-on recovery efforts by the organization. This year The Peregrine Fund was involved in raptor research, graduate studies, and conservation projects in 22 countries on four continents. Training and support were provided to 12 students conducting graduate thesis research projects and doctoral and master's studies, all in their native countries; since beginning, 76 students have graduated with PhD or MSc degrees. Ten young of the critically endangered Ridgway's Hawk were successfully fledged into the wild in the Dominican Republic in an experimental assisted dispersal project. Four Orange-breasted Falcon chicks, hatched in captivity, were released into the wild in Belize, and surveys were conducted for nesting falcons in Belize and Guatemala. Captive-bred and wild-hatched Harpy Eagles were tracked and observed in the forests of Darien, Panama using radio telemetry, and public educational campaigns were conducted to reduce shooting of this threatened species. Five graduate students were supported in Peru, Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Chile, and Costa Rica, and two graduated with MSc degrees. Nearly 50 delegates from southern and eastern Africa met in Kenya to solve conservation needs of Africa's endangered vultures; a Vulture Specialist Group for Africa was formed. Two students graduated with Ph.D. degrees benefitting vulture conservation in Kenya. In Madagascar, work continued to set aside globally significant wetlands and forests, monitor rare and endangered raptor species, assist captive breeding of critically endangered species, support six graduate students' studies, and work with local communities to develop an ecotourism program while protecting traditional customs and practices. Financial and technical support was given to the Philippine Eagle Foundation for work including captive breeding and release of Philippine Eagles, public education, conservation of critical habitat, and telemetry studies on wild eagles. Annual breeding population surveys of critically endangered Gyps vultures were completed in India, Pakistan, and Nepal that tentatively revealed a reduction in the rate of population decline due to the use of veterinary diclofenac. Projects in Cambodia studied the toxicology of Grey-headed Fish Eagles on Lake Tonle Sap, and in Indonesia published a book on the endangered Javan Hawk-eagle. Initial surveys on Simeulue Island, Indonesia were conducted for Crested Serpent Eagles. New projects were begun on the American Kestrel to understand the species' decline on a continental scale, and on the Gyrfalcon to respond to impacts of climate change on this Arctic species. 1271713 0 200801 Education / Information - Education dispels misunderstandings about birds of prey and increases their chances for long-term survival. This year 36,100 people were reached through on-site and off-site programs. The Velma Morrison Interpretive Center in Boise, Idaho is the centerpiece of the education effort. During fiscal year 2012, a 300 person outdoor seating area, Raptor Ridge, was created to showcase the annual flight show demonstrations. A world-class library provides journal articles to scientists and field researchers all over the world free of charge. This year staff supplied PDF copies of 1,022 articles in response to 379 requests from scientists in 32 countries. The online Global Raptor Information Network makes encyclopedic information about birds of prey available to anyone with access to the internet. This year content was added to several of the accounts of 333 raptor species and the network received over 100,000 visits, and in surplus of 1,000,000 hits. The organization created a calendar, annual report, news releases, brochures and other materials intended for the public. A webcam trained on a nesting pair of Peregrine Falcons in downtown Boise received nearly 350,000 page views during the nesting season. New Kestrel webcams were set up this year resulting in over 500,000 page views. The organization has 12,682 fans among its 5 Facebook pages. The Archives of Falconry constructed a Legacy Circle to recognize active major donors. 0 0 0 5035858 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 21 0 1 75 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 30 28 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AK AL AR AZ CA CT DC FL GA ID IL KS KY MA MD ME MI MN MO NC NH NJ NM NY OH OK OR PA RI SC TX UT VA WA WI WV X X The Peregrine Fund Inc 2083623716 5668 W Flying Hawk Lane Boise ID 83709 Robert B Berry 1 X 0 0 0 Harry L Bettis 1 X 0 0 0 P Dee Boersma PhD 1 X 0 0 0 Frank M Bond 1 X 0 0 0 Tom J Cade PhD 1 X 0 0 0 Virginia H Carter 1 X 0 0 0 Robert S Comstock 1 X 0 0 0 Dr William E Cornatzer 1 X 0 0 0 Derek J Craighead 1 X 0 0 0 Scott A Crozier 1 X 0 0 0 James H Enderson PhD 1 X 0 0 0 Caroline A Forgason 1 X 0 0 0 Karen J Hixon 1 X 0 0 0 Robert Wood Johnson IV 1 X 0 0 0 Jacabo Lacs 1 X 0 0 0 Ambrose K Monell 1 X 0 0 0 Carter R Montgomery 1 X 0 0 0 Velma V Morrison 1 X 0 0 0 Ruth O Mutch 1 X 0 0 0 Ian Newton D Phil D Sc FRS 1 X 0 0 0 Calen B Offield 1 X 0 0 0 Paxson H Offield 1 X 0 0 0 Lucia Liu Severinghaus PhD 1 X 0 0 0 Steven P Thompson 1 X 0 0 0 R Beauregard Turner 1 X 0 0 0 Russell R Wasendorf Sr 1 X 0 0 0 James D Weaver 1 X 0 0 0 Lee M Bass 1 X 0 0 0 Carl E Navarre 1 X X 0 0 0 Patricia B Manigault 1 X X 0 0 0 Samuel Gary Jr 1 X X 0 0 0 J Peter Jenny 40 X X 197175 0 31393 Richard T Watson PhD 40 X X 134177 0 16673 Geoffrey Pampush 40 X 138235 0 19800 469587 0 67866 3 0 1 0 0 91721 334800 0 0 1072915 3471857 468403 4971293 Visitor Center admissions 712100 131349 131349 0 0 Wind Energy study - bird mortality 813312 48900 48900 0 0 Wildlife education-consulting 813312 41930 41930 0 0 0 0 0 0 222179 223747 0 0 223747 0 0 0 0 100 0 0 100 1650 0 0 0 1650 0 1650 0 0 1650 3262930 5311 3097247 0 165683 5311 170994 0 0 170994 27282 0 11654 15628 0 15628 118092 64268 53824 53824 0 0 Rebates and Refunds 900099 14023 0 0 14023 0 0 0 0 14023 5673438 276003 0 426142 29140 29140 8773 8773 339770 339770 0 0 379549 242627 104458 32464 72072 72072 0 0 2174028 1814272 134290 225466 177082 141106 13429 22547 338952 287866 26856 24230 191918 159390 15205 17323 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22530 6530 16000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 67757 0 67757 0 41003 40060 0 943 12141 12141 0 0 139399 97772 12895 28732 112155 86744 7907 17504 0 0 0 0 252626 244176 5688 2762 459936 385558 22516 51862 0 0 0 0 108791 4810 103463 518 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 318551 310052 5073 3426 49146 37320 10981 845 Maintenance 43962 42502 1232 228 Feed for birds 195452 195452 0 0 Tools and Supplies 286928 275823 6731 4374 Dues, Fees and Books 120900 110150 3777 6973 121929 91752 11837 18340 6064490 5035858 570095 458537 X 44326 22163 0 22163 177573 101694 1144689 769404 711238 1052823 3680 36696 0 0 0 0 0 0 62594 33170 62805 61351 9642542 4946928 4825453 4695614 9964306 11375393 0 0 0 0 0 0 2307103 2327603 19259441 20453748 114727 169342 0 0 9567 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 124294 169342 X 17732890 18617030 1402257 1667376 0 0 19135147 20284406 19259441 20453748 X -391052 1540311 X 0 1 1 X 1 1 X 5178545 6134091 3765513 4933136 4971293 24982578 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5178545 6134091 3765513 4933136 4971293 24982578 7770000 17212578 345862 238694 214570 211155 223847 1234128 0 900 300 800 0 2000 0 0 0 0 0 26218706 1801109 0.65650 0.59086 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 20500 2327603 0 0 X X X X Raptor education 0 10002833 36373 1929953 13204 500000 67757 11388198 9743990 215191 575954 0 465400 66902 10002833 9166024 98092 954129 0 413300 60955 9743990 9790739 61228 -128676 0 500000 57267 9166024 1 0 0 0 0 0 1513000 1513000 0 4479728 2337925 2141803 0 833352 675330 158022 0 1217682 1064567 153115 0 1598780 869106 729674 4695614 Collections - Archives 2327603 2327603 5673438 6064490 -391052 1540311 0 0 0 0 1540311 1149259 7278861 1540311 132658 0 211 1673180 5605681 67757 0 67757 5673438 6129602 132658 0 0 211 132869 5996733 67757 0 67757 6064490 SchD_P03_S00_L04 Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 The Archives of Falconry functions within The Peregrine Fund's educational as well as its research programs included in the mission statement. The worldwide cultural heritage of falconry extends back over 4,000 years. It was that sport's history and interaction with raptors that led modern practitioners to found and establish The Peregrine Fund to restore endangered populations of birds of prey, starting with the Peregrine Falcon. Their successes in rescuing that and subsequent species have been due in large part to the intimate insight and personal understanding derived from their relationships with these birds through their practice of falconry. While such falconers' interactions and relationships have been documented for hundreds of years, this valuable history was being lost due to the absence of any focused effort to preserve records of falconers and their key roles in raptor conservation. For a quarter of a century The Archives of Falconry, founded by The Peregrine Fund and unique in the world, has been devoted to the preservation of that historical record. SchD_P05_S00_L04 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 The Board of Directors established the endowment fund and the related payout policy that allows The Peregrine Fund to use a portion of the endowment balance each year towards operating expenses including both supporting services and program services as needed. The Board of Directors set up the William A Burnham Memorial Fund as part of the endowment, which provides for grants to be paid based upon the recommendation of the memorial fund's committee members.

This occurs when an additional person is needed when traveling with a bird and an employee or other volunteer is not available; or when the spouse is participating in development activities and is an integral part of the meetings held, serving as a volunteer development staff member. Because these are bona fide business expenses, it is not a taxable benefit to the President. If neither of those cases applies, spousal travel is not paid for by The Peregrine Fund.

SchJ_P01_S00_L03 Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 Prior to the meeting of the Compensation Committee, the President provides the Chairperson of the committee with an evaluation of the officers under him and a summary of his own activities for the year. The President at that time recommends compensation for the vice president and makes recommendations for the committee to consider for himself. When the committee meets, the President is in attendance at the beginning of the meeting to answer questions and provide a verbal report of the activities and accomplishments of himself and the vice president during the previous year. He is then excused and the Compensation Committee meets to decide on compensation to propose to the entire Board for the officers. During the meeting of the full Board, at the conclusion of the regular business the Board goes into a closed session to consider the report of the Compensation Committee. A vote is taken and thus the salaries of officers are established for the upcoming year. The Chairperson of the Compensation Committee provides written minutes of the meeting for the files. When the President makes his recommendations he takes into consideration (1) job performance during the previous year, (2) professional qualifications, (3) experience, (4) cost of living increase/decrease, (5) compensation provided by comparable organizations, and (6) the overall budget for the upcoming year and whether increases in compensation are possible. For 20+ years a company named Towers Perrin in Rosslyn, Virginia, has conducted a Compensation Survey of Management Positions in Not-for-Profit Organizations. The Peregrine Fund participates in this survey, as does virtually every non-profit organization with a recognizable name. Each year the results are published in a book which is sold. We do not purchase the book each year as the cost is rather excessive, but we purchase it periodically to compare the levels of our compensation with other multi-national organizations with budgets on a level with ours. When the book is purchased, they send a complimentary analysis of one position with the national average for the position, taking care to rate similar sized organizations against other similar sized organizations. Members of the Compensation Committee also verify that compensation for officers of The Peregrine Fund is in line. Occasionally one of the Directors has his staff research comparable compensation information.

We do not purchase the book each year as the cost is rather excessive, but we purchase it periodically to compare the levels of our compensation with other multi-national organizations with budgets on a level with ours. When the book is purchased, they send a complimentary analysis of one position with the national average for the position, taking care to rate similar sized organizations against other similar sized organizations. Members of the Compensation Committee also verify that compensation for officers of The Peregrine Fund is in line. Occasionally one of the Directors has his staff research comparable compensation information.
