According to a recent article on the CNN news website, the California Condor has come back from the brink of extinction. It now numbers close to 400 birds in total with nearly 200 living in the wild. Evidently, it has taken a massive conservation effort involving government, business, and non-profit agencies to save the species, which was done to its last to its last 27 birds just 25 years ago. And the effort to save the Condor has had a positive impact on several other endangered species as well. so, while the world may not be all that hunky-dory environmentally speaking, there are success stories out there."If you happen to find a bird's nest in a tree or on the ground with the mother bird sitting either on the eggs or with her young, you are not to take the mother bird. You may take the young birds, but you must let the mother bird go, so that you will live a long and prosperous life." (Dueteronomy 22:6)
