Last Chance Forever, The Bird of Prey Conservancy's mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and release sick, injured, and orphaned birds of prey. Raptors are important ecological barometers, indicator species, that tell us messages concerning the over-all health of our environment. After all, they live on the same earth that we do, breath the same air, and drink the same water. Being smaller than us, toxins and other forms of environmental ills will affect them quicker than humans. LCF also provides sanctuary for raptors that are unfit to return to the wild. Many are used as Educational Ambassadors in public demonstrations, or as surrogates used to teach young raptors how to survive in the wild. LCF performs over 300 educational programs a year to a wide variety of audiences in varied venues.
