The International Association for Falconry and Conservation of Birds of Prey (IAF) is a global organization dedicated to preserving the ancient art of falconry, a traditional hunting methodology that utilizes trained birds of prey to capture quarry in their natural habitats. Headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, IAF plays a pivotal role in promoting sustainable wildlife practices while advocating for the conservation of raptors and their habitats. As an accredited NGO, the IAF collaborates with UNESCO and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to ensure that falconry is practiced with respect for wildlife and cultural heritage.

Through various initiatives such as educational programs, welfare courses for raptors, and conservation conferences, IAF supports the development of falconry while fostering strong ties between falconers and their local communities. Members include falconry organizations worldwide, making the IAF a vital network for the exchange of knowledge and best practices that ensure the future of this remarkable tradition.
