Tom Cade
[edit]- ... that conservationist Tom Cade's efforts to save the peregrine falcon were so successful that it was removed from the US Endangered Species List in 1999? Source: "The North American Peregrine Falcon population was rising by 5 to 10 percent a year and was so large by 1999 that the bird’s recovery was considered complete." (Gallagher 2019)

The 1980 NYT article used as a reference within the article is paywalled, but the citation itself for the hook is accessible; successful verification of other statements in the article based on a spot-check. Article is both new enough and long enough for DYK, and the hook is both interesting and short enough. The usage of "it" in the hook itself may be misleading, however, so I would propose this slightly modified version of the hook, which I will leave up to the discretion of the DYK volunteer who closes this nomination:
