What we've learned about this market, written to be usable before committing to anything. Every text lists its sources. This center exists to qualify a file, not to sell one: it stays accessible without an account, without registration, without anything in return.
No reliable "multi-billion-dollar market" figure exists: the only solid numbers on the international falcon trade come from official CITES statistics. Here is what they show, and what they do not.
MOCCAE in the UAE, the National Center for Wildlife in Saudi Arabia, a dedicated CITES office in Doha since 2025: every Gulf country has its own authority and its own procedure for bringing a falcon into its territory.
CITES export and import permits, captive-bred certificate, falcon passport: the complete list of documents required before a peregrine falcon leaves Europe for the Gulf, and the order in which to obtain them.
The organisations cited in our texts and in our checks. We state each one's exact role: an institution that issues a document is not the same as one that controls it, and none of them endorses SaqrBridge.
