"Harpy Awareness" gathered major momentum, thanks to "Mission: Harpy Eagle" and day of events held on April 10, 2005 at Centro Deportivo Kiwanis in Ciudad del Saber (Clayton).
 
The Peregrine Fund reports that its important work with Harpy Eagles is making headway, helping to return more of these rare and magnificent birds back into the wild. For more information, see the Foundation's official Web site: www.fondoperegrino.org or visit them at their convenient, easy-to-find location at Ciudad del Saber, Clayton.
 
"Sister Schools" are expected to join in greater numbers to help support Mission: Harpy Eagle, according to members of the Mission coordinating team. Support for this national, grassroots, school-based program can be measured by the increasing number of information requests being directed to a dedicated team of volunteers, who in turn provide to these schools a variety of materials useful to student learning and teachers' lesson plans.
