By Alan Lieberman Colombia is a land of rich coffee, drug scandals, and a biodiversity of plant and animal species without equal. It is also home to the magnificent Andean condor, the national bird that figures on Colombia's coins and on a host of banners, logos, and products. Larger than the California condor, the Andean condor has been revered by every New World culture since the first nomadic people populated the Americas. First described by Linnaeus in 1758, it is regarded by many as the "flagship species" of Latin American conservation. Historically, this vulture ranged in large numbers from the highlands of northern South America to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, from the Andean snowcaps to the desert coasts of Chile and Peru. However, the condor population has fallen dramatically since the Spanish conquistadors. The most recent estimate of the wild population in al! of Colombia is between 30 and 60 birds. After a similar decline in Venezuela, the condor was officially declarated "extinct" in the late 1960s. Centuries of Chiles Indians assisting in moving young condors to their new homes in Colombia.
