PEREGRINE AUDUBON SOCIETY BRINGS CONDORS BACK HOME
Peregrine Audubon Society presents California Condors, Bringing them home on Tuesday, May 17 at 7 p.m. via zoom. The Yurok Tribe, after a 14 year journey, has successfully brought North America's largest bird, the California condor, home to the Pacific Northwest. This restores a critical member of our ecological community, and promotes reconnection to this amazing creature, and cultural revitalization for the tribal people in relationship with him. Special guest Tiana Williams-claussen, director of the Yurok Tribe Wildlife Department, will provide a brief introduction to the incredible Prey-go-neesh, the California condor, and discuss the traditional paradigm guiding the Yurok Tribe's efforts to bring them home to northern California and the Pacific
Northwest. She will discuss the management approach the Yurok Tribe is taking for reintegrating condors into the region, and provide an update on how the newly released flock is doing!
Tiana Williams-claussen is a Yurok Tribal member and was raised in Yurok Ancestral Territory. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Biochemical Sciences from Harvard University, after which she returned to serve her tribe. She was instrumental in the formation of the Yurok Tribe Wildlife Department in 2008, with California condor as its flagship species, and currently serves as Department Director.
