- The company will have doubled its commitment to condor recovery by supporting the rearing of 12 California condors at the Oregon Zoo.
- This plan stipulated that Avangrid fund a full-time employee at the zoo’s condor breeding facility to support the captive rearing of six California condors to mitigate the potential impacts of two incidental condor mortalities over a 30-year period.
- Funding from the company supported the successful rearing of 12 condors, 10 of which were releasable in 2022 and 2023.
- "Conservation is all about partnerships, especially when it comes to a species like the California condor," said Travis Koons, who oversees the Oregon Zoo's recovery efforts.
