California Condor Reintroduction in Yurok Tribe Ancestral Territory Reaches Historic Milestone

California condors nested in Northern California redwoods for the first time in over a century, representing a major recovery milestone for a species that nearly went extinct. This achievement combines species conservation success with Indigenous stewardship of ancestral lands.

This does not prove the species is out of danger—nesting activity in one location does not guarantee population viability or long-term recovery without sustained management.
