A LIFETIME OF DEDICATION TO THE PEREGRINE FUND
First described by Linnaeus as Falco chrysaetos, in his 1758 Systema Naturae, the Golden Eagle is one of the world's largest; inhabiting nearly every continent. For over one-thousand years the Kazakh eagle hunters of Mongolia's Altai Mountains have hunted prey as large as wolves with these magnificent raptors. (Photographer Rob Palmer)
