In 1982, only 22 California Condors remained in the wild. These birds were brought into human care to save the species from extinction. In the decades since, the Oregon zoo has hatched 133 Condors at the Jonsson Center in Clackamas County contributing to the population rebounding to nearly 600 birds. Despite this success, condors continue to face serious threats in the wild.

In this talk, hear from Hayley Brazier, Ph.D., Wildlife Conservation Specialist at the Oregon Zoo, who will discuss the innerworkings of the zoo’s condor recovery facility and Lead-Free Hunting Education Program. She will also highlight the zoo’s efforts to save other species from extinction across the Pacific Northwest, including Mazama Newts, Northwestern Pond turtles, Oregon Silverspot Butterflies, Pacific Lampreys, and Northern Leopard Frogs.
