Biologists Battle Avian Flu and Lead Poisoning in Condors

Biologists at a remote Arizona wildlife center are intensifying their efforts to protect endangered California condors from the dual threats of avian flu and lead poisoning. Recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza have devastated local populations, resulting in the deaths of 21 condors in just three weeks, while recovery teams highlight that lead poisoning remains the leading cause of mortality for this iconic species, claiming nearly half of all known deaths since 1992.

With only 344 California condors left in the wild, wildlife experts implement stringent biosecurity measures and promote the use of non-lead ammunition among hunters to mitigate lead exposure. Amidst these challenges, the dedicated team at the Peregrine Fund remains hopeful as they track the birds’ health and encourage safe hunting practices, seeking to ensure a brighter future for one of North America’s most endangered species.
