After disappearing from the wild in North America in the late 1980s, California condors have been successfully reintroduced to Baja California, Mexico. This effort, led by dedicated biologists Juan Vargas Velasco and María Catalina Porras Peña, involves managing the lives of 48 condors. Their work is part of a larger binational conservation initiative that began in the 1980s. The first captive-bred condors were released in Mexico in 2002, emphasizing collaboration between zoos and institutions in both countries, ultimately contributing to the species' resurgence and monitoring their behavior and breeding.
The California condor's return to the wild in Baja California represents a significant conservation success after it disappeared from North America in the 1980s, spearheaded by dedicated biologists.
The efforts to reintroduce California condors in Mexico are anchored in strong collaboration between U.S. and Mexican wildlife institutions, showcasing binational commitment to conservation.
