Abstract

The article looks at the endangered California condor, focusing on lead poisoning risks and how the species' genetic makeup may be used to keep the species from going extinct. Topics reported on include mapping the genetic diversity of the species, trapping the birds to test for lead in their bodies, and the treatment of the birds with lead poisoning. Also mentioned are the policies on lead bullet use by the states of California and Arizona.
