An Andean condor was released back to the wild in the mountains of Bolivia

An Andean condor was released back to the wild in the mountains of Bolivia, September 1, 2022, after it was nursed back to health.

The 6-year-old male condor had been in treatment for two weeks because of food poisoning. The animal was found in poor condition by a local resident and was turned over to the Agroflori Bio Park for rehabilitation.

Authorities equipped the condor with a GPS device to track its movements.

Conservationists have been working to improve the numbers of the Andean condor, which are among the largest birds in the world, for decades.
