THE PLIGHT OF THE CONDOR

OPENING RECEPTION:  Friday, Oct. 16th. 5:00-7:00pm at the High Country Conference Center

This event is free and open to the public.   Refreshments and entertainment provided.

Flagstaff photographer John Sherman has vowed to photograph each and every one of the 73 California condors in the southwestern population spanning northern Arizona and southern Utah.  His audacious mission highlights the precarious nature of a program aimed to recover one of the world's most endangered species.  The condor, a species once on the brink of extinction at just 22 individuals, has been saved from extinction, but recovery looms a distant goal.

Come and enjoy John's images and learn about the challenges that still need to be met to achieve a self-sustaining wild population from Chris Parish, The Peregrine Fund's Condor Recovery Program Director.

This exhibit, a collaboration of HCCC, NAU and The Peregrine Fund, will be on display from Oct. 5th. 2015 to Jan. 5th. 2016.

The gallery is free and open to the public during business hours Monday through Friday, 9-5pm.
