How we brought the condor back from the brink | Michael Mace | TEDxDeExtinction

[@RCSVirginia]

Congratulations to Curator Michael Mace and the entire staff of the San Diego Zoo for their brilliant work in preserving the California Condor and reintroducing them to the wild. This has been a phenomenal project, and it is a good demonstration of what can be done to save endangered species. Let us hope that this work will continue and be expanded.

Wow! Amazing work! It takes years of real dedication and perseverance. And people with big vision and big heart. Every life is precious! We need to protect all of the species who are still here with us. Thank you!!

I want to express my gratitude to this organization for saving this species. I have recently seen a condor being released to fly off. It was very emotional to watch this bird spread its wings and fly.

Exceptional! I hope this person saves more endangered species..

[@jacquelinesantana2026]

I've been seeing this species more as of late out in San Diego and they seem so unreal! Truly makes looking up to the sky's a bit of a treat!

I have stopped using lead stinkers. One of my fishing spots required it and I thought it made sense to discontinue using gear made from lead all together. I live on the east coast and I think it was for water quality and water foul.

Great presentation Mike.

There is a move in some states to ban lead bullets that are the main threat, through lead poisoning, to California Condors today. Anyone who lives in Western states can contact their state representatives, senators and governors to urge them to ban all lead shot. The California Assembly on 16 May 2013, voted to ban lead shot in that state; the bill now goes to the California State Senate. If you live in California, let your senators know that you want lead banned.

It’s interesting how after my Uncle Mikes (Dr. Michael Wallace) life work from the inception of the California Condor program to now, there are so many people claiming successes and forgetting to mention he pioneered the program.
