Book Description

Excerpt from Recovery Plan for the California Condor Recovery Criteria: The minimum criterion for reclassification to threatened is the maintenance of at least two non-captive populations and one captive population. These populations (1) must each number at least 150 individuals, (2) must each contain at least 15 breeding pairs and (3) be reproductively self-sustaining and have a positive rate of population growth. In addition, the non captive populations (4) must be spatially disjunct and non-interacting, and (5) must contain individuals descended from each of the 14 founders.
