🔺 Our Mission 🔺
Founded in 1997 in Cedar City Utah, we are a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and education.
Rescue, Rehabilitate and Release
The Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Utah (SWF) cares for more than 100 sick, injured and orphaned native wildlife annually. Restoring them to health and returning them to the wild is our primary goal.
Informing, Educating and Inspiring
The SWF provides over 100 educational programs reaching over 30,000 people annually. We believe providing educational outreach programs to schools, scout groups and community events, with focus on children and families, will make the greatest impact in preserving our wildlife, the environment, our public lands and our resources for future generations to enjoy.
Martin Tyner
Since age twelve, with a bird on his arm, Martin has captivated audiences sharing his knowledge and experience of his wildlife friends.
At age nineteen, Martin was hired as curator of birds of prey at Busch Gardens, CA. He also worked in the movie and television industry training big cats, elephants, primates, sea mammals and raptors.
“One of my greatest childhood fantasies was the desire to create a personal friendship with a wild eagle. I found myself with a love and fascination for these powerful creatures.”
Martin Tyner is a federally licensed falconer, eagle falconer, wildlife rehabilitator, wildlife propagator, and wildlife and environmental educator.
He has been providing wildlife and environmental programs throughout the western United States, to schools, scouts and community groups for over fifty years.
“Grandpa believed in a very simple philosophy; that a person should get up every morning and do good. Doing good means that you do well for others and doing well means that you do good for yourself. There is nothing wrong with doing well, but Grandpa always believed in doing good.”
Martin's book, Healer of Angels, reflects back on his life: from a young boy terrified of birds to becoming the first man in North America licensed to train a wild golden eagle in the ancient art of falconry.
Through a heartwarming collection of true stories he describes his challenging transformation from a shy dyslexic teenager, to the founder and CEO of the Southwest Wild

Fun to see Robert Hayes...I loved that show Starman. This will be great to watch little Striker grow and thrive, thanks to Martin.
-
It's a pleasure to meet you, baby Striker!😍 Thank you, Martin, for sharing this wonderful adventurous video with us!❤
-
Bless Striker and Martin! Martin, please take good care of Yourself, so that you can continue to take care of all of the others including Striker!
-
Striker has the raptor equivalent of ice cream on his face 😂❤
-
Adorable little one…so sweet. Thank you for rescuing him! Nature is indeed red of tooth and claw.

Aw, I am so glad you were able to get the small little guy. Nests with a number of larger chicks and one small one can be extremely brutal for the small guys. I've seen a poor chick get "bonked" to death by its siblings, and another starved slowly because they didn't allow it to get any of the food over the last few years watching Peregrines. Curiously, it's mostly the rural peregrines that tend to be at most risk for a sibling related death. The metro peregrines have had far less hostility towards each other (the nest sizes are also a little smaller which helps, usually 3 eggs total, with two hatching and one being a dud). I'm excited to see how Striker progresses! I know Kate kind of left a peregrine shaped hole in you, and hope Striker is able to help mend that.

Martin you impress me with your dedication, respect and dedication to birds, as well as the obvious profound affection you share with your feathered people. I do raptor nest watch every year ( out in the middle of nowhere in the Sonoran desert). I have learned a lot and every once in a while I get to be in the right place at the right time to rescue a baby, or occasionally an adult . They are my heart and truly make life meaningful. I am so inspired by Stryker’s story, especially after your heartache with dear little Kate.

Martin Bless Your Heart ❤ your so inspirational .It actually brought tears to my eyes watching you climb up that mountain to retrieve your last Peregrine Falcon it's like a mission you wouldn't be denied . 🙏❤
-
Welcome Striker! Can't wait to him start training!

It was Striker's lucky day. Striker was going to probably starve to death in the nest. He was thinner and smaller with two bigger birds to compete against. Striker loves the attention
-
Welcome, Striker! May you fly in beauty.
-
I look forward to watching Striker grow up on your channel and become the fastest animal in the world.

I’m always amazed at all the wonderful work you do! I absolutely love watching and learning! I hope you have many many more years to continue the awesome work you do!
