The [[Property and Environment Research Center]] notes, "At most, only eight species can be described as recovered: the [[brown pelican]], three [[Palau Island]] birds, the [[American alligator]], the [[Rydberg milk-vetch]], the [[gray whale]], and the [[Arctic peregrine falcon]], although some others that remain listed are doing well." These recoveries are not necessarily the result of the ESA. For instance, the private [[World Center for Birds of Prey]] assisted the peregrine falcon's recovery.<ref>Richard L.
