Acknowledgments
The California Condor Recovery Program would not be possible without the selfless dedication
and collaboration of the many people working in captivity and in the wild to recover this magnifi-
cent species. The staff at the Los Angeles Zoo has worked tirelessly over the years to continually
improve all aspects of how California Condors and all our vultures are reared and prepared for
their future. Their abilities are amazing and their passion inspiring. Our work together with
California Condors and many other vultures is the foundation of this chapter.
