Just as we consider it a responsibility of people to take care of birds that human activities have injured, we also consider that habitats need our protection and care. All the healthy raptors we can release will not survive if suitable habitat doesn't exist for them. In the past, reintroduction programs have help the return of extant species, and the Raptor Chapter hopes to continue that work in the future.
Equally important is assuring the necessary foraging, nesting, and roosting habitat are provided for wildlife. Future work with nest site management and encouragement for landowners to provide foraging habitat are in the works. These projects could help return eagles, barn owls and osprey to northeastern Indiana as well as provide nesting cover for the rarer raptors like harriers and short-eared owls. Future research with raptors in the region will provide useful information in the management and restoration of wildlife. The Raptor Chapter's partnership with Indiana-Purdue University at Fort Wayne is an exciting avenue for this research work.
