My guess is that it would take a vulture restaurant type set up of supplemental feeding.
The best condor news is that starting in July, lead shot is outlawed in California and it didn't really seem it got a lot of resistance so that's a positive sign that eventually people will stop using it in California and then spreads from there.
They are located in the animal nursery building
Did the sifaka really give birth again in April while nursing an 8 month old???

I didn't know the zoo keeps (kept?) Pied Bushchat.

They may have originated from a customs seizure of Asian birds; I remember that the zoo had a particularly large influx of rare birds from such a seizure in the last couple of years.
They did and that is likely where they came from. It's a shame most of those species never made it on-exhibit.

Why is this so difficult? Don't zoos world-wide cooperate to keep human-care populations going?
I was surprised to read that Denise Verret is the very first African-American Zoo Director of an AZA zoo in history. Wow! Considering how many female employees are at AZA zoos, it has certainly taken a long time for such an event to occur. It is great news, and she has been at the zoo a long time and is deserving of her status as Zoo Director.
There are very few mountain tapirs in zoos anywhere.
