Recovery Program Partners & Collaborators
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s California Condor Recovery Program is a multi-entity effort to recover the endangered California condor, which is currently focusing its efforts on the captive-breeding and reintroduction of condors to the wild in the hopes of establishing a self-sustaining population.
The goal of the California Condor Recovery Plan is to establish three geographically separate populations, one in California and the other in Arizona, each with 150 birds and at least 15 breeding pairs. This may happen as soon as 2020. As the Recovery Program works toward this goal, the number of release sites has grown. There are three active release sites in California, one in Arizona and one in Baja, Mexico.
