In 1987, only 22 California Condors remained. As part of a national recovery plan for the bird, all 22 were moved into a captive breeding program.
Today, there are over 300 living condors and a captive breeding site right here in Oregon.On Wednesday, October 21 at Roots Brewery in Portland, come find out how scientists saved this majestic bird from the brink of extinction and the work being done for a possible return to Oregon.
