For example, in Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador, the number of individuals is very low and has even disappeared from part of its historical distribution range. In these countries, the Andean condor is considered a critically endangered species.

The Andean Condor is suffering widespread declines, especially in the northern part of its range. They are endangered in Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador and vulnerable in many other parts of South America.

In order to understand the threats faced by Andean Condors in Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela, we compiled injury and death records of wild-born, released, and rescued individuals between 1979 and 2021.

The Andean condor is found in South America in the Andes and the Santa Marta Mountains. In the north, its range begins in Venezuela and Colombia, where it is extremely rare, [35] then continues south along the Andes in Ecuador, Peru, and Chile, through Bolivia and western Argentina to the Tierra del Fuego.

The Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus) has been an emblematic figure in the history of Colombia. Since pre-Columbian times, indigenous cultures have revered this majestic bird as a symbol of power, freedom, and connection to the gods.

Jul 8, 2021 · The largest non-sea bird on the planet soars the skies of the Andes mountain range, from Colombia and Venezuela to Chile and Argentina, with its imposing presence. The Andean Condor can reach 3 meters with its black wings extended.

Condors are found throughout the Andean countries, from Tierra del Fuego through Argentina and Chile to the northern spur of the mountains in Colombia and Venezuela. Related to vultures, condors, too, are natural garbage collectors.

Two and a half months before mating begins, the pair of condors choose the nest site and perch near it. The breeding period varies geographically; in Colombia it appears to be from April to December. They nest in mountain cliffs and caves without building a nest.

Dec 14, 2023 · Experts from Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela created the network a decade ago to try and protect the condor, already considered extinct in Venezuela.

The Primer Censo Nacional del Cóndor Andino (First National Census of the Andean Condor), which will take place in the country between the 13th. and the 15th. of February, wants to answer these questions.
