Peregrines are at the top of the food chain.
By monitoring their populations every ten years we are conducting a health-check on the whole of their environment. In 1991 there was some evidence that coastal nesting Peregrines in the north-west of the United Kingdom were declining. If this result is repeated in 2002 we could have an indication of problems in the marine environment. Many conservationists have worked hard to protect Peregrines. You can support the 2002 Peregrine Survey in two ways.
