California condors are with us today because of the dedication and hard work of many people. To celebrate these individuals, here are pictures of just a few of them.

I previously showed a photograph of John Borneman but I very much like this drawing (by a well-known artist) too:

To see that photograph of John Borneman and 9 more people of the saga, have a look at the post Pictures of people of the saga.
More information about most of the people above can be found by searching their names under the FIND CONTENT header somewhere on this screen (depending on your device).
