Article Synopsis
- Vultures, including the Andean Condor, are among the most threatened bird species globally, with a declining population of about 6,700 mature individuals, particularly in northern South America where their numbers are critically low.
- From 1979 to 2021, 164 Andean Condors were reported injured or killed, predominantly in Ecuador, with poisoning (103 cases) being the leading cause of mortality, alongside shootings and other factors.
- Urgent measures such as environmental education, research, and better enforcement of conservation laws are needed to address human-induced threats and support the survival of the Andean Condor in the region.
