Parent of the chicks that are being hand raised for release in Baja - The 2 pairs of california condors came from san diego.
 
Before seeing this picture, I taught the only captive Californian kondors are in USA. How many wild Californian kondors are living in Mexico (in California peninsular?)
 
There are 23 california condors living in Reserva San Pedro Martir in Baja California
. The first 3 pairs came from the San Diego zoo in 1987. Other zoos that have sent condors to Baja California were Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. Now Chapultepec zoo will send another pair. This a great example of conservation work by zoos and also an example of international cooperation in conservation.
