California Condor Recovery Program
The California condor was the first species to be listed under the Endangered Species Act in 1967, and the Santa Barbara Zoo is a partner in the heroic effort to save California condors in the wild.
Island Fox Recovery Program
Despite facing the real threat of extinction in the late 1990s, island foxes, found on six of the eight Channel Islands, are recovering well thanks to the collaborative efforts of multiple conservation agencies and organizations.
