Return of the Condor: The Race to Save Our Largest Bird from Extinction Paperback

Return of the Condor is the riveting account of one of the most dramatic attempts to save a species from extinction in the history of modern conservation.  With the condor's population down to only twenty-two birds in the 1980s adn their very survival in doubt, the condor recovery team managed to pull the species back from the brink.  John Moir presents a unique and personal inside look at the gripping stories of peril, uncertainty, and controversy in the ongoing saga to return this magnificent bird to its ancient home in the American West.  This new edition includes an afterword by the author that updates readers on the progress and continuing challenges facing the recovery program since the original publication of the book.
