Background:

This project studied the population size, age structure, sex ratio, habitat use, and recruitment of Andean Condors in central Chile as a first stage of population assessment. This will be followed by a conservation medicine approach that will investigate captive and wild condors to determine causes of death, health status, and exposure to environmental pollutants (lead, strychnine, and other heavy metals) in the highly human-influenced environment near Santiago City.
