Can a master falconer take a species on the threatened list?

A master falconer can take a species that is on the threatened list, but this action is contingent upon obtaining proper authorization. This requirement is in place to ensure that the capture and use of these species are regulated and that conservation efforts are respected. The process generally involves stringent guidelines and permits to oversee the handling of threatened species, which helps protect these birds from further decline and supports their conservation.

This regulatory framework is critical in balancing the practice of falconry with the necessary protections for vulnerable wildlife. Therefore, while a master falconer may have the skills and experience to handle these birds, they must comply with legal and ethical standards that govern their collection and use.
