For thousands of years, these amazing birds soared above North America. Yet by the mid-1900s, hunting and contaminated food supplies had pushed condors to the brink of extinction. Could scientists and wildlife officials find a way to help the California condor survive? In California Condors: Saved by Captive Breeding, children relive the inspiring and heroic efforts of people who stepped in to save this remarkable creature when all seemed lost. Through this true tale of wildlife survival, kids discover the bold and creative ideas that Americans and their government have used to protect and care for the countrys endangered wildlife. California Condors: Saved by Captive Breeding is part of Bearports Americas Animal Comebacks series. |
