Last Chance Forever: John Karger & Kelly Rayner
• –
About the speaker
Last Chance Forever is dedicated to the rehabilitation of sick, injured and orphaned birds of prey, scientific investigation, and also just as importantly, the education of the public. Master Falconer, Veterinary Technician, John Karger founded Last Chance Forever in 1978.
Each year the project receives between 150-300 birds into the facility for care. These include hawks, owls, eagles, falcons and vultures. An average of 65-80% of all cases are successfully returned to nature. Birds which are deemed non-releasable and are not suffering when possible are held to be placed in propagation projects, natural science centers for educational purposes, or humane research projects.
In addition to properly caring for the birds, Last Chance Forever has designed an educational program for presentation to children, civic organizations and interested individuals. This program is seen by over 500,000 people annually throughout the United States. It promotes a common sense attitude towards the interaction of mankind and our environment. Through this program, we also hope to encourage a change in attitudes concerning birds of prey such as hawks, owls, falcons, vultures and eagles.
