The Cost of Freedom
Condors have been around for million of years, but sharing the planet wit human beings has never been easy. On 22 condors were left in 1983. Thanks to a group of scientists and conservationists, the last remaining condors were caught and bred in captivity, bringing them back from the brink of extinction. The big questions now is whether they'll ever learn to survive on their own.
There is overwhelming evidence that lead bullets are currently the number one cause of condor deaths. Recently, the California Legislature passed a historic protection measure, the Ridley-Tree Condor Preservation Act, that would require hunters to use non-lead bullets in condor counties. Unfortunately, there are organizations pressuring Governor Schwarzenegger to veto the bill. To help save the condors, write a letter to our governor or go to: : www.savethecondor.com to help!
