California Condor

The California condor was successfully saved through species recovery efforts after near extinction in the 1980s. Now, the species faces a new threat from a Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI).

An outbreak of bird flu has killed California condors in Arizona and Utah. The USDA has approved an emergency vaccine in response.

The local nonprofit Ventana Wildlife Society plans to hold a release of some young condors this Saturday in San Simeon.

California condors are still dying from lead poisoning, which at one point almost wiped the species out entirely. But recently, the Ventana Wildlife Society was able to save one of their oldest female condors – Traveler 171.

The Ventana Wildlife Society is aiming to build a space in Big Sur for local families who aren’t very able to access the Central Coast’s outdoor recreation opportunities.
