UC Berkeley NEWS HOME ARCHIVES EXTRAS MEDIA RELATIONS Press Releases Image Downloads Contacts Faulty practices threaten success of California condor program, says new report 25 Jul 2000 BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Current releases of captive California condors into the wild probably will fail unless changes in the program are made soon, according to a new study that will be reported in the August issue of the journal Conservation Biology. Captive rearing techniques are producing excessively tame condors that pose threats to humans, and the released birds are at constant risk of death by lead poisoning from eating carcasses contaminated with bullet fragments, which was a main cause of the extinction of wild condors in the 1980s. "Many condors are reared in captivity by humans using condor-shaped puppets, and this has created birds that readily approach people, cars and buildings," said Meretsky, lead author of the journal article. In the past year, there have been repeated instances of condors prying shingles off buildings, destroying camping equipment and approaching people for food handouts, she said. "Behavioral problems have been common in released young condors that were taken from their parents and reared by puppets in isolation, but not in young condors that were raised by their parents," said Meretsky. "Unfortunately, despite this important difference, program managers have continued to release puppet-reared birds to the wild instead of limiting releases to parent-reared birds."

Captive Breeding of Endangered Species When the total number of a population reaches a certain level, powerful biological and ecological forces accelerate that population quickly toward extinction. These forces vary in their individual contribution, but their overall effect is always powerful. To name a few: loss of genetic diversity, inbreeding and subsequent homozygosity by descent, hybridization, and stochastic environmental and demographic effects. Thus, if left to the will of nature, most species that reached critical numbers would fall inevitably into extinction. In many of these situations, zoos, aquaria, and botanical gardens have massively intervened, sometimes even capturing all wild members of a precarious small population. In a controlled environment, many of the forces of extinction can be quelled, though only temporarily. Once in captivity, individuals are selectively reared and bred in accordance with the most auspicious means possible. This type of conservation is termed ex-situ conservation because the animals or plants are taken into an artificial environment as opposed to habitat conservation where the organisms are left in their natural settings while negative influences are removed. All in all, 19% of all mammals and 10% of all bird species have been bred in captivity. In a zoological setting, the numbers are substantially higher, 90% and 74%, respectively (Allan, 2000).

Good guess, but that's not the right answer. The California Condor is the largest flying bird in North America, with a wingspan of up to 9.5 feet and a weight of up to 25 pounds. They feed on dead animals. In recent history, they have lived only in the coastal mountains of Southern California, but before the arrival of Europeans in the West, the birds could be found all the way from Canada to Baja California. In 1985, only 9 birds were still alive in the wild. These last birds were captured to save them from being accidentally killed. Breeding programs and re-releases have shown promise; as of Winter 2000, 52 birds were living in the wild, and 93 were in captivity. The California condor is an endangered species. Try again!

Environmental writer Bruce E. Beans finds enlightening stories of eagles thriving, from dozens of birds in former DDT-laden lands in New Jersey to 1,750 bald eagles counted in an hour in Alaska. But there's more than just counting birds in this work. Beans chronicles the story of some of those who have worked to save this national symbol, such as the retired banker who learned to scale 100-foot trees to band the birds. By the same token, not all the tales are happy. Beans tells of many who still act carelessly with the eagle and its habitat, showing that the story is not over. Endangered Birds! (Endangered)

California Condor Gymnogyps californianus Endangered By weight, the California Condor rivals the Andean Condor for the designation as the largest of all the species of condor. California Condors are generally about 10 kg (22 lb.). It depends on the carcasses of large mammals for food. With the expansion of settlement in the mid-1800s, its food supply was reduced and the principal source of carrion became domestic livestock. The California Condor was probably never numerous, and its populations have been further reduced by food shortage, the poisoning of carcasses in predator control, and a naturally low reproductive rate.

GOING, GOING, GONE? Condors have long been a symbol of pristine, remote wilderness and conservation. Their status and decline has recently been the focus of intensive research and often heated debates. The nearly-extinct condors began to decline when large mammals, such as mammoths , disappeared during the Ice Ages thousands of years ago. These large animals provided abundant food for the massive condors and other large scavengers. However, scientists believe that the following factors led to the accelerated demise of the species: poisoning from sources such as lead bullets in carcasses left by hunters, being shot for a variety of reasons, eggshell thinning from DDT (a harmful pesticide that birds accidentally ate with their food). major, ongoing changes in the habitats of southern and central California. The last of the nearly-extinct birds was taken into captivity in 1987. It joined the 26 remaining condors in a captive breeding program at the San Diego and Los Angeles Zoos. With the help of scientists, condors in captivity may be able to reproduce over four times faster than in the wild. By 1998, the captive condor population had increased to over 100. Scientists have begun to release the captive-bred birds into the wild in California and Arizona. The fossilized remains of a closely related species, the extinct La Brea Condor (

Up Manchester Graduate Returns to Share Wildlife Knowledge by Mrs. Jan Conover What do the Dodo, Moa, Great Auk and Passenger Pigeon have in common? These great birds of our Earth's past will forever remain aggregated together in textbooks under the category of "Extinct." Today, resources, technology, and public awareness have never been so abundant regarding the many endangered creatures that exist, some near the brink of extinction. In an effort to educate our youth about the perils and programs affecting wildlife in America, Manchester Middle School science teachers Ms. P. Lewis and Ms. S. Morgan arranged assemblies for the entire 7th grade with wildlife biologist and author, Ross Conover. Conover flew in from the Ventana Wilderness Society ( www.ventanaws.org ) in California to speak to the children about the endangered California Condor, the recent chick release, and opportunities in wildlife. A photo presentation made an interesting backdrop for the students to "see" Big Sur, California and the giant bird that teeters on extinction. Right now, there are only approximately 50 California Condors in the wild. Students learned that humans were the cause of the California Condors' demise, but that human intervention is now the reason for their

Status of Listed Species and Recovery Plan Development California Condor Gymnogyps californianus Endangered California Current Status: The captive breeding program has increased the number of California condors from only 27 in 1987 to 64 in 1992. Continuing threats include loss of habitat, poisoning, and illegal shooting. Achievements: The improved status of the California condor is primarily the result of the successful captive breeding program. The program developed a multiple clutching technique that involved removing eggs from the nests and incubating them artificially. This stimulated the condors to lay second or even third clutches each breeding season. Additionally, an experimental Andean condor release project was successful in developing release techniques for California condors, as well as training biologists to perform and monitor condor releases. Two California condors bred in captivity were released into the wild in 1992. Section 7 consultations with the Forest Service resulted in the establishment of buffer zones around historic condor nesting and roosting sites, burial of powerlines in condor flight zones, and control on the timing and methods of oil development within critical parts of the condor's range. Current Recovery Needs: The condor breeding program should be expanded to accommodate the growing captive population. Additional release sites should be established in California, and at least one release site established outside the State. Also, research addressing contaminants in the condor's historical range should be initiated.

Rodriguez airport, marking the first time a member of their species has been documented in Mexico since the late 1930s. The newly arrived condors did not fly to Tijuana on their own, but were instead transported by plane. The condors are part of a recovery program for the species that is being implemented by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (the Service) in cooperation with the Zoological Society of San Diego, the Los Angeles Zoo, the California Department of Fish and Game, and numerous Mexican partners, including the Instituto Nacional de Ecología, the Comisión Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas, and the Centro de Investigación Científica y de Educación Superior de Ensenada. Of the six, five are juveniles and are scheduled to be released this fall in the mountains of Baja California, Mexico, after a period of several weeks in an acclimation pen. The sixth condor is an adult female that is accompanying the juveniles as a "mentor" bird. She will return to the Los Angeles Zoo following the release. All six were reared at the Los Angeles Zoo and were hatched at the zoo and the Peregrine Fund’s World Center for Birds of Prey in Boise, Idaho.

Condors in the Grand Canyon History of the Condor Recovery Program Everyone at the park is cheering the return of endangered California condors to the wild. For the first time in decades, visitors to Grand Canyon National Park now have an extraordinary opportunity to see this endangered species soaring free. In 1982, the California condor species was functionally extinct with only 22 birds remaining. Today, that number has climbed to 198, with 80 condors living in the wild, 35 of them in Arizona. Virtually all of the Arizona birds now spend time in the Grand Canyon. Recent evidence suggests that the condors are breeding and nesting in the canyon's hidden ledges and caves. In spring of 2002, two pairs of condors laid eggs in remote caves below the South Rim. Although the eggs appeared viable, both nests failed. Researchers, however, remain optimistic that a condor chick will hatch successfully in the wilds of Arizona. Photo by Homer Steedley, North Rim visitor Help the Park Help the Condors Grand Canyon National Park is a primary cooperator in the multi-agency effort to re-establish the California condor in the southwestern United States. It is responsible for protecting and managing condors within its boundaries as mandated by the Endangered Species Act. However, the park has just two full-time wildlife biologists who are responsible for managing over one million acres and over 600 wildlife species in the Grand Canyon. Clearly, these park biologists are unable to provide the intense monitoring and management required to ensure the success of the condor reintroduction effort, let alone educate the visiting public on the importance of this effort.

The release of two of North America s largest bird in northern Arizona will increase the population of free-flying California Condors in Arizona to 35. Both condors are males and hatched at The Peregrine Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey in Boise, Idaho. Depending on conditions, a third condor may be released. Eight California Condors Transported to Arizona for Release A rizona’s population of California Condors will increase to 41 with the arrival of eight young condors on January 18. All eight condors hatched last year at The Peregrine Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey. On January 1, there were 198 California Condors in the world, 80 of those are in the wild in Arizona, California, and Mexico. Three More California Condors Released in Arizona Arizona now has 33 condors in the wild following the release of three additional birds on December 9, 2002 from atop the Vermilion Cliffs near the Grand Canyon, in Northern Arizona. This is the 12th release in the historic effort to restore North America’s largest bird to the Grand Canyon area.
