THE CALIFORNIA CONDOR RECOVERY PROGRAM IS WORKING TO ESTABLISH A SELF-SUSTAINING POPULATION OF CALIFORNIA CONDORS (GYMNOGYPS CALIFORNIANUS) ACROSS THEIR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND ARIZONA-UTAH RANGES THROUGH A MULTI-ORGANIZATION, MULTI-STATE EFFORT ENCOURAGING THE VOLUNTARY ADOPTION OF NON-LEAD AMMUNITION OPTIONS TO PREVENT LEAD TOXICOSIS IN BIRDS, KNOWN AS THE NORTH AMERICAN NON-LEAD PARTNERSHIP (NANP). CAUSED BY THE CONSUMPTION OF CARRION TAINTED WITH LEAD AMMUNITION, LEAD TOXICOSIS IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR THE CRITICALLY ENDANGERED CALIFORNIA CONDOR, RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE THAN HALF OF ALL KNOWN CONDOR MORTALITY (USFWS 2024). DESPITE REGULATORY PROHIBITIONS ON LEAD FOR TAKING OF WILDLIFE IN CALIFORNIA AND INCENTIVE-BASED NON-LEAD PROGRAMS IN ARIZONA AND UTAH, CONDORS CONTINUE DYING FROM LEAD TOXICOSIS THROUGHOUT THE RANGE, AND INCREASED AND CONSISTENT EDUCATION EFFORTS ARE NEEDED TO ADDRESS THIS ONGOING MORTALITY. THIS PROJECT ADDRESSES THE THREAT OF LEAD EXPOSURE THROUGH VOLUNTARY NON-LEAD AMMUNITION OUTREACH CONDUCTED BY SPECIALISTS IN CALIFORNIA, ARIZONA AND UTAH.
