The California Condor Recovery Program is a multi-entity effort, led by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to recover the endangered California condor. The Recovery Program is currently focusing its efforts on the captive-breeding, nest management, and reintroduction of California condors to the wild with the goal of establishing two geographically distinct self-sustaining populations of condors in the wild, with a third population retained in captivity. Each population should number 150 individuals, with 10-15 breeding pairs within each group.
Daniel Cook is a park ranger for the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Hopper Mountain National Wildlife Refuge Complex. He definitely has a favorite species --- the California condor. With wings spanning over nine feet long and huge feathers visible from hundreds of feet, the condor is without a doubt a captivating bird. Their heads, bare of feathers, show striking colors and emotions. Daniel works with the Santa Barbara Zoo to provide support to teachers and students to teach about these remarkable birds while incorporating information on history, geography, biology and conservation.
