Good news!
The critically endangered California condor will soon return to the Pacific Northwest for the first time in 100 years.
From the USFWS press release, “the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, and the Yurok Tribe announced a final rule that will help facilitate the creation of a new California condor release facility for the reintroduction of condors to Yurok Ancestral Territory and Redwood National Park, which is in the northern portion of the species’ historic range. This facility will be operated by the Northern California Condor Restoration Program, a partnership between Redwood National Park and Yurok Tribe.”
The first release is planned for fall of 2021 or spring of 2022. Annual releases of captive-bred juveniles should continue for the next 20 years.
