California condors were officially recognised as an endangered species, in 1967. In 1980, there were fewer than 25 birds left in the wild. Captive breeding programs were established, and the first captive bred California Condors, were released into the wild in 1992. Captive breeding has been really successful, with their reintroduction programs, although they have a long way to go before they are off the endangered list.
