Welcome to the Save The Saker website. It will explain the global status of the species, the threats it faces in the wild, how it is being conserved and its relationship with man.

Much of the work you will find on this site has been done by the United Arab Emirates based Environmental Research and Wildlife Development Agency (ERWDA). Its work covers many of the Saker range countries. Biologists and veterinarians have worked for a decade to produce the information you will find on this site, much of which has yet to be published.
