CALIFORNIA CONDOR : ABOUT RED LIST CALIFORNIA CONDOR ABOUT RED LIST We hope you will enjoy our selection of "Rare Animals of the World" ANIMAL GUIDE ABOUT RED LIST CALIFORNIA CONDOR The Red List is the material prepared by IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) classifying various threatened wild animals of the world and reporting their present habitat status. The List evaluates the extinction risk level of each individual species from a biological viewpoint, but it possesses no legal power to enforce regulations concerning threatened species. The Red List is broadly employed as fundamental information in advancing the preservation of threatened wild animals. Referring to the original Red List, the Environment Agency of Japan has compiled the Japanese edition of the List listing threatened taxa inhabiting Japan. 2000 EDITION of the RED LIST CATEGORIES are classified as follows: EXTINCT EX A taxon whose last individual has died. EXTINCT IN THE WILD EW A taxon whose last individual in the wild has died.

Arizona Outdoorsman / AZOD AZOD Navigation Home Fishing Fly Fishing Saltwater ... Clubs/Organizations Repeated for "news reporting purposes" Two endangered California condor chicks hatch in Arizona Watchable Wildlife News June 24, 2004 PHOENIX - Arizona Game and Fish Department biologists are announcing another success in the comeback story of the California condor in our state. Biologists confirm two California condors hatched this summer in Arizona, marking the latest step in the bird's return from the brink of extinction. This condor was the first chick to be born in the wild in Arizona. In 1987, biologists captured the last of the world's only 22 California condors, in an effort to save and breed the species. The birds are being cared for by experts and are periodically released in California, Mexico, and Arizona, as the population begins to rebound. Condors were reintroduced into Arizona in 1996. The new nestlings are another sign that biologists' efforts are working. "We're encouraged by the successful hatching of these two eggs," says Andi Rogers, head of the Arizona Game and Fish Department's condor program. "We hope to see signs of recovery like this every year."

Endangered Species Profiles A. Gorilla. 1. Species distribution. The single species of gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) is divided into three subspecies. The subspecies G. g. gorilla is the western lowland gorilla found in Nigeria, Cameroon, parts of the Central African Republic, mainland Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Conga, and the extreme western tip of Zaire. The eastern lowland gorilla (G. g. graueri) is found in east-central Zaire. The mountain gorilla (G. g. beringei) is restricted to the six extinct volcanoes of the Virunga Range on the Zaire-Rwanda-Uganda border. 2. Reasons for endangerment. Reasons for the gorillas' decline include habitat loss due to human encroachment (mostly for agriculture) and poaching for their hands, heads, and meat. 3. Conservation efforts. Gorillas are classified as endangered by the Endangered Species Act and are on Appendix I of CITES. The eastern lowland gorilla and the mountain gorilla are listed as endangered by the IUCN/World Conservation Union. The western lowland gorilla is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN/World Conservation Union. The western lowland gorilla is part of an SSP program with 50 participating institutions, including Busch Gardens in Tampa. The gorilla SSP, the IUCN/World Conservation Union's SSC Primate Specialist Groups, the AZA, and IUDZG have joined to condemn any action which would increase demand for, and trade in, gorillas from Africa.

On a cool November night, biologist Mike Wallace is standing 60 feet off the ground on a branch of a Jeffrey pine. Just out of his reach, a newly released California condor that has been eluding recapture prepares to escape farther into the wilds of Baja California. Things have gone from bad to worse in this attempt to bring the largest land bird in North America back to Mexico after a 70-year absence. A skeleton field crew, territorial golden eagles, and inaccessible backcountry have all conspired to thwart the endangered vulture’s return. As head of the California Condor Recovery Team, an advisory group to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Wallace has been struggling for weeks to lure the big fledgling back to safety. He dropped meat on half a dozen ridgelines in one night. When that failed, he and Juan Vargas, head of the Baja release site, spent the next few nights chasing the bird from roost to roost. Despite their best efforts, the bird only flew deeper into the 243-square-mile Sierra San Pedro Martir National Park.

San Francisco State University Department of Geography Geography 316: Biogeography In progress The Biogeography of California Condor ( Gymnogyps californianus) by Kaoru Dobeta, student in Geography 316, Fall 2001 From the Hawk Conservancy By Clendenen. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Kingdo m Animalia Phylum : Chordata Family : Vertebrate Class : Aves Order : Ciconmiiformes Genus : Gymnogyps Species : Gymnogyps californianus Description of Species The California condor is the largest flying land bird in North America. Adults weigh approximately 10 kilograms (22 pounds) and have a wingspan up to 2.9 meters. Adults have a bare, orange or yellow-orange head and neck, and a white bill. Both sexes of this species have similar coloration (Brown 1997). Its head and neck are bare of hair or feathers, except on the forehead which is covered with stiff, black feathers. There is a prominent ruff of lanceolate feathers around the neck. The condor's back, wings, tail, and under parts are black. The underwing coverts and axillaries are white. Its bill and feet are gray horn colored, with a small patch of red on the knees (Palmer 2001). Immature condors have a dark head and neck that are covered with gray down. The underwing patch may vary from mottled white to nearly all black. The color of the head and neck turns orange and the underwing patches become white (Brown 1997). The size comparison of Condor ( Darlington 1987 Habitat/Distribution 11,000 years ago, condors were native to several different parts on the continent. Sightings were recorded in upstate New York, Florida, British Columbia, and throughout the Southwest and northern Mexico.

StudyWorks News Science News Environmental News Archives of Environmental News ... Earth Observatory Condor Chick Hatches in the Wild California Condor. Photography by David Clendenen, courtesy of US Fish and Wildlife Service. A California condor chick has hatched in the wild for the first time since the enormous birds were reintroduced into their natural habitat. The baby bird hatched on June 22 from an egg that was laid in captivity in the Los Angeles Zoo but was transported to a family of reintroduced birds in Los Padres National Forest near Santa Barbara, California. The chick was aided by its new mother, who helped pry open the shell, spun the egg, and watched as the hatchling dropped out. She has been hovering over the chick and keeping it warm since its birth. This is the first condor birth in the wild since 1984. This is the first year that the released condors are of reproductive age. One egg was found in a nest in northern Arizona last March but was cracked. Currently 60 of the world's 161 California condors live outside of zoos. Condors became extinct in the wild when the remaining nine were removed into zoos in 1984. The release program was begun in 1992 when the bird populations had recovered sufficiently in captivity. The goal of the release program, a partnership between the federal government and several private organizations, is to have two separate populations, one in southern California and one in northern Arizona, each with about 150 birds, including 15 breeding pairs.

Over 8,300 plant species and 7,200 animal species around the globe are threatened with extinction, and many thousands more become extinct each year before biologists can identify them. The primary causes of species extinction or endangerment are habitat destruction, commercial exploitation (such as plant collecting, hunting, and trade in animal parts), damage caused by nonnative plants and animals introduced into an area, and pollution . Of these causes, direct habitat destruction threatens the most species.

SYMBIOS Public Participation in Decision Making People and Condors [How We Almost Pulled Failure From The Jaws of Success] [Commentary by Sandy Wilbur] Return to Table of Contents INTRODUCTION. THE PROBLEM. When Fred Sibley left the condor research program in 1968, Erickson showed a rare insight for the times [remembering that the Fish and Wildlife Service then had virtually no interest and no training in public involvement]. He decided that Sibley's replacement should be someone with high credibility as a biologist, but also someone who could take research results to the various approving agencies and to the public, and convince them that such a "drastic" program was needed. He selected me from the management branch of the Fish and Wildlife Service as much for my background in writing, public speaking, and working in teams as he did for my research abilities. It took over ten years to "sell" the program, but the Erickson strategy ultimately paid off. To Table of Contents DEFINING THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PROGRAM It would be highly misleading for me to say that we actually planned our public information strategy from the start. I brought only common sense, on-the-job training in "public relations" to my position as condor recovery team leader, and my co-workers had even less experience with the public. There were few training courses or "how to" manuals available, then. Nevertheless, we managed to ask ourselves some questions that have since become standard in developing public participation, then we went forward on the basis of our answers to those questions. The questions were:

77. Species Profile Condor, California Genus Gymnogyps Species The california condor was declared endangered in 1967 under the endangered SpeciesPreservation Act, and the state of california classified it as endangered http://library.thinkquest.org/25014/profiles/condor/

Condor, California Genus Gymnogyps Species californianus Status Endangered Habitat Mountanous strips, woodlands, forests, grasslands Distribution USA (Arizona, California, Oregon), Mexico (Baja California) Appearance Condors are huge birds with a wingspan approaching 3 meters (9.5 feet), and are thus the largest flying birds in North America. Adults are black with large, triangular white patches extending from the base of each underwing along the wing's entire leading edge. Younger birds have patches that are mottled black and white. The skin of the bird's unfeathered head is reddish orange to yellow in color, and gray in immature birds. When fully grown, these creatures are 1.2 meters (3.75 feet) long and weigh more than 9 kilograms (20 pounds). Behavior These condors use separate habitats for foraging and breeding. Breeding sites are often found at higher elevations, while foraging habitat lies in foothills covered by grassland or woodland. Condors soar at an average speed of 56-64 kph (35-40 mph) and make trips of 32-48 km (20-30 miles) from breeding grounds to foraging areas. When flying, they follow ridgetops, which provide updrafts for long, soaring flights. They may occasionally reach heights as high as 4,750 meters (15,000 feet), but usually fly about 152 meters (500 feet) above the ground. They soar only when there is enough wind or current to provide them with extra lift. Diet Carrion (dead meat) Feeding California condors are scavengers that eat the carcasses of large animals such as cattle and deer.

78. Surfbirds News: Last Wild Condor Shot One of only a few dozen endangered california condors in the wild, The californiacondor is listed as an endangered species and is protected by both http://www.surfbirds.com/sbirdsnews/archives/2003/02/last_wild_condo.html

Surfbirds News Main February 21, 2003 Last Wild Condor Shot The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, working closely with the California Department of Fish and Game, is investigating the senseless shooting and killing of Adult Condor 8, one of the last California condors taken into captivity in the 1980s and a matriarch of the captive-breeding program. AC-8 was found dead on February 13, and a subsequent necropsy determined that the bird died of gunshot. No arrests have been made. One of only a few dozen endangered California condors in the wild, AC-8 was the last female condor captured in 1986 in a last-ditch effort to save the species from extinction. She spent 14 years in captivity in the captive-breeding program and was the first of the original wild birds to be released in April 2000. "The death of this majestic bird is a great tragedy and a tremendous loss," Interior Secretary Gale Norton said. "While we have had great success in our condor recovery efforts to date, we cannot accept the needless loss of any of these great birds. We are actively pursuing a full investigation of this matter." "This unnecessary death at the hands of a poacher marks a sad day for California," said California Resources Secretary Mary D. Nichols. "We have lost one of the last wild condors, but we remain committed to bringing back these magnificent birds from the edge of extinction. I call on the public to support us in that effort, and also help us find the poacher responsible for this senseless killing."
