    The Andean condor population has dramatically declined to less than 10,000 individuals due to habitat loss, hunting, poisoning and lack of food sources. As an iconic species of the Andes mountains, the condor plays an important ecological role but is now classified as endangered by the IUCN. Conservation efforts include breeding programs, protecting habitat, raising awareness and encouraging ecotourism to help boost the wild population.
