In addition, the plan includes maintaining a third population of condors in captivity. These include establishing two wild, geographically distinct self-sustaining populations, each with 150 birds and at least 15 breeding pairs. The 1996 Recovery plan established goals (criteria) for down listing the species from Endangered to Threatened. Fish and Wildlife Service established the California Condor Recovery Program. In 1967 the California condor was listed as endangered by the federal government under the Endangered Species Preservation Act of 1966, the predecessor to the Endangered Species Act, and in 1979 the U.S. In addition, we are working to increase the public's knowledge about the species and how you can support recovery of the condor. The program includes several key components including addressing threats to the species in the wild captive breeding and release and monitoring at our field sites.
The Recovery Program is working to establish robust self-sustaining populations of condors within the historical distribution. Partners in condor recovery include numerous stretching across state, federal, non-governmental and tribal partners. The Recovery Program for the California condor is an international multi-entity effort, led by the U.S.
