A rare piece of good news!

Maybe not THAT rare, but still, it's nice to read about conservation "wins" in this day and age, where it seems that the environment is getting beat up on by everything and everyone.

"Almost 25 years after the California condor went extinct in the wild and dwindled to just 27 birds in captivity, North America's largest flying bird is on the verge of a watershed moment: Its total population is projected to hit 400 this spring, including 200 birds thriving in the wild later this year." Full article here on CNN.

It's taken decades (I remember reading about the California Condor when I was in kindergarten!) but we're finally getting back to where we want to be. Good job to everyone involved, and it shows that with a concerted effort and the right resources, we can reverse some of the most tragic situations.
