A condor sanctuary in California has been devastated by one of the wildfires ravaging the state. The Big Sur Condor Sanctuary was destroyed by the Dolan Fire on Aug. 21. The fates of several of the critically endangered condors, including a chick, remain unknown. “In these unprecedented times, the critically endangered condors need you more than ever,” explains the Ventana Wildlife Society of Monterey, which runs the sanctuary, on its website. One is a 4-month-old condor chick named Iniko that was living in a nest in a redwood tree about a mile from the facility.
