This one is involved in the program for restoring the California condor to the wild. This is the largest bird in North America, and it doggoned near died out. This raptor center, the Los Angeles Zoo, and possibly one or two others were involved in capturing the few that were left and breeding the birds in captivity. They are slowly but successfully being restored into areas where there's less human impact on their environment.
