Virtual 2020 Feathers Zoom
Recorded September 5, 2020
Watch the recorded video of our Feathers Zoom, where Condor Joe gave a detailed update on the condor chicks before we heard from Mike Clark with the Los Angeles Zoo who was joined by Dolly, a California Condor and a King Vulture. He talked about the condor breeding program at the zoo and shared with us the beauty of Cacique, the King Vulture, who Mike personally hatched 30 years ago! (run time 1:04:20)



Condor Zoom-Chat
Recorded August 27, 2020

Watch the recorded video of our monthly zoom-chat where Condor Joe gave a detailed update on the Dolan Fire and how it affected the condors. He spent additional time answering more questions and Mike Stake introduced the 23 species of vultures in the world. 
(run time 1:18:14)
a special address from les lo baugh, jr
Les Lo Baugh, Jr.  - Mr. Lo Baugh drafted the Endangered Species Act, followed by the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act which in turn led to the formation of the EPA; all of which took place during the Nixon administration. Literally millions of animals, plants and fishes can attribute their survival as specific species to the protection given to them by the federal statutes initiated by Mr. Lo Baugh.
