Manchu falconry culture turns to protection
To date, more than 200 injured raptors have been rescued by over 50 falconers from the association and released to the wild.
The association has been exploring integration of falconry culture with market demand in recent years, which has stirred up interest in winter falcon performances, now becoming a special tourism product.
