Adopt-A-Condor
You can help us help condors by joining the Adopt-A-Condor program.
Even though this program will not give you the joy of hauling a carcass or handling a condor yourself, it will give you the joy of financially contributing to these and other efforts by Ventana Wildlife Society biologists to protect the population.

Your donation is fully tax deductible to the extent of the law. The level of tax-deductibility depends on whether or not a free gift was selected and the amount donated.

MAXIMIZE YOUR DONATION: If you do not want us to spend money on sending you the free gifts associated with your adoption, select "Donate without receiving Adoption Kit” when ordering.

Ventana Wildlife Society thanks you for your additional commitment to our conservation efforts!
