Measures proposed : Constant cooperation of State and Federal Government and private 

 conservation agencies in law enforcement, public education, land management, and 

 research studies. Purchase of private lands within the Sespe Condor Sanctuary and 

 purchase or lease of important feeding areas subject to destruction. Determine the 

 possible benefits of supplemental feeding either in restricting wandering or providing 

 food during critical periods . 



Number in captivity : One in the Los Angeles Zoo not on display. Brought to the zoo 

 as a fledgling in February 1967 after being deserted by its parents. 



Breeding potential in captivity : Unknown, but based on experience with South American 

 condors, thought to be good. Two unmated female California condors at the National Zoo, 

 Washington, D.C. , during several decades laid about two dozen eggs.
