MARCH 29, 2001 Next month, Secretary of Interior Gale Norton will participate in the release of five young California condors into the wild in the Ventana Wilderness near Big Sur, California. In her previous days in the Interior, Norton was Associate Solicitor for US Fish and Wildlife. She worked to help restore the condor, whose population currently is about 160 in the entire world. "This is a particularly fulfilling day for me," said Norton. "The California condor was on the absolute brink of extinction." Scientists have recently discovered an egg laid in the wild by a condor on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. US Fish and Wildlife officials said the egg was laid by a condor released in the wild in 1997. The egg they found was cracked. Get the Story:
