What is required from a master falconer to possess a golden eagle?

Possessing a golden eagle is regulated heavily due to the bird's status and conservation considerations. A master falconer must submit a written request to the department that governs wildlife and conservation efforts. This written request includes specific details about the falconer's credentials, the intended use of the eagle, and compliance with specific legal requirements. Such formal documentation ensures that the request is reviewed properly and that the falconer's capabilities and intentions are evaluated under the laws governing wildlife possession.

This requirement is not just for record-keeping but is also critical for monitoring the conservation status of eagles and ensuring that only those who have demonstrated sufficient knowledge and responsibility are allowed to own such a significant species. The structured process helps maintain proper regulations and safeguards the species from potential misuse.
