IIPM Mission

Every autumn, as the birds migrate through central Asia, the Bedouins would capture and, within two weeks, train the falcons, preferring the Peregrine and Saker breeds, for hunting the bustards and hares. And as the falcon flew, the tribal sheiks traversed along, reconnecting with communities, which otherwise were out of reach. Modern man’s machines, employed for hunting, are used and then gather dust lying in the closet until the next hunting season; but falconry doesn’t allow for indulgence in such negligent bliss. Preparing these birds, endowed with formidable claws and dagger-like beaks, the sport entails enormous skill, patience and dollops of courage on the part of the falconer.
