In the past two decades, State, federal, and non–profit organizations
have diligently worked to save and reintroduce the endangered California condor
into the wilds of its former range. These
conservation efforts, including substantial research
investigations, have resulted in the determination that lead toxicity/lead
poisoning is a factor affecting condor health and survival. The Department of
Fish and Game’s mission is to
conserve California’s wildlife for use and enjoyment by the citizens of the
State. Reducing the potential risk to the condor of lead poisoning through big game hunting activities is the intent of this regulation change. Copies of the Initial Statement of Reasons, including the regulatory
language, may be obtained from the address above. Notice of the proposed action shall be posted on the Fish
and Game Commission website at http://www.fgc.ca.gov.
