RECOVERING THE CALIFORNIA CONDOR IN ARIZONA AND UTAH: CALIFORNIA CONDORS REMAIN CRITICALLY ENDANGERED, AND THE PEREGRINE FUND MANAGES ONE OF THE LARGEST CAPTIVE POPULATIONS IN THE WORLD AT ITS HEADQUARTERS IN BOISE, IDAHO. ONLY 22 INDIVIDUALS EXISTED IN 1982, BUT THROUGH CAPTIVE BREEDING AND RELEASE OF CONDORS TO THE WILD, THERE ARE MORE THAN 500 IN THE WORLD TODAY. TO DATE, WE HAVE RELEASED 238 CONDORS, CONFIRMED 56 WILD-HATCHED YOUNG, AND WITH CONTINUED RELEASES AND CLOSE MANAGEMENT, WE ARE HOLDING STEADY IN OVERALL RESTORATION EFFORTS AND MAKING ANNUAL PROGRESS. A MILESTONE EVENT OCCURRED IN FALL 2019 WHEN THE 1,000TH NESTLING WAS HATCHED.

LEAD POISONING REMAINS THE PRINCIPAL MORTALITY AGENT AND LEAD-CAUSED DEATHS CONTINUE AT UNSUSTAINABLE RATES.

MANAGEMENT AGENCIES IN ARIZONA AND UTAH CONTINUE EFFORTS TO REDUCE LEAD AVAILABLE DURING RESPECTIVE BIG-GAME HUNTING SEASONS; NEARLY 90% OF ENGAGED DEER HUNTERS IN EACH STATE HUNTING WITHIN THE IMMEDIATE RANGE OF THE CONDOR HAVE TAKEN ACTION TO REDUCE LEAD EXPOSURE. ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF EXPOSURE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED AND ARE BEING ADDRESSED TO ELIMINATE LEAD AS A THREAT AND ALLOW CONDORS TO REACH LONG-TERM SUSTAINABLE LEVELS AND BE FULLY RESTORED.
