Freedom is a game-changing conservation movement that seeks to protect and reintroduce threatened birds of prey through creative conservation methods, and generate global publicity for the cause.
Founded by world renowned falconer Jacques-Olivier Travers and developed in cooperation with conservationist Ronald Menzel, Freedom Conservation is centred on an exceptional breeding facility in Thonon, France. It is here that Jacques-Olivier teaches birds of prey born in captivity to hunt and fly by skiing, kayaking and paragliding with them. They can then be reintroduced to nature with much better chances of survival and reproduction than with the traditional "hacking" method.
Freedom Conservation's methods are filmed and have subsequently harnessed global media attention. By creating this unique & compelling content, Freedom Conservation seeks to engage a new generation of conservationists, catalyzing popular support for the protection of nature worldwide.
