The Los Angeles Zoo has received the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Conservation Service Award for its contributions to the Condor Recovery Program, which seeks to ensure the survival of the endangered California condor. A dozen of the birds are now at the zoo, which has been rearing young condors and preparing them for release into the wild. Twelve more are at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is attempting to trap the three males remaining in the wild so they can be brought in to breed.
