earlier you mentioned that they were at risk on the basis of their population. was there any reason for it?
The use of organochlorine pesticides, especially DDT
Peregrine falcon
The peregrine falcon became an endangered species over much of its range because of the use of organochlorine pesticides, especially DDT, during the 1950s, '60s, and '70s
why is the peregrine falcon the fastest bird Due to its characteristic hunting stoop (high-speed dive) how fast is it? UNANSWERABLE what is its scientific name? Falco peregrinus what is its conservation status? Their population has bounced back in most parts of the world and the species is no longer at risk even in Canada where it was identified as endangered in 1978 where is it mostly found? Nearly everywhere on Earth, except extreme polar regions, very high mountains, and most tropical rainforests what kind of diet do they follow? Medium-sized birds such as pigeons and doves, waterfowl, songbirds, and waders what can you tell me about its breeding? it is sexually mature at one to three years of age, but in larger populations they breed after two to three years of age can you describe its structure ? The back and the long pointed wings of the adult are usually bluish black to slate grey with indistinct darker barring, the wingtips are black does it have any cultural significance? Yes. The Ancient Egyptian solar deity Ra was often represented as a man with the head of a Peregrine Falcon adorned with the solar disk

Peregrine falcon [SEP] Decline due to pesticides
The peregrine falcon became an endangered species over much of its range because of the use of organochlorine pesticides, especially DDT, during the 1950s, '60s, and '70s. Pesticide biomagnification caused organochlorine to build up in the falcons' fat tissues, reducing the amount of calcium in their eggshells. With thinner shells, fewer falcon eggs survived until hatching. In several parts of the world, such as the eastern United States and Belgium, this species became extirpated (locally extinct) as a result. An alternate point of view is that populations in the eastern North America had vanished due to hunting and egg collection.
