Der Andencondor, der größte flugfähige Vogel der Welt, wurde über tausende Jahre hinweg von südamerikanischen Ureinwohnern verehrt, betrachtet als „Geist der Anden“- eine heilige Verbindung zwischen Menschheit und Gott. Obwohl dieses symbolträchtige Tier in der Vergangenheit eine häufige Art war, die mit den kulturellen Wurzeln verband, hat sich der Schutz des Andencondors in der heutigen Zeit leider in eine schwierige Aufgabe verwandelt. Das Andean Condor Conservation Project (ACCP) wurde im August 1991 in Pampa de Achala, Córdoba (Argentinien), gegründet. Dieses Projekt wird vom Buenos Aires Zoo, der Temaiken Foundation und der Argentina Bioandina Foundation unterstützt. Zudem erhält es Unterstützung von einigen nationalen und internationalen Institutionen. Das größte Ziel ist die Erhaltung dieser wunderbaren Vögel und ihres majestätischen Ökosystems entlang der gesamten Gebirgskette, um das Überleben dessen zu sichern, was als der lebende Geist der Anden gilt. ...
