The California Condor is a New World Vulture and the largest land bird in North America. It became Extinct in the Wild in 1987, but captive individuals have since been reintroduced to the wild in California, Arizona and Baja California, Mexiko. This market focuses on the risk of complete extinction of the species. It will resolve YES if the California Condor is declared extinct by the IUCN by 2100 or earlier. It will also resolve YES if there is other strong evidence that the species is completly extinct, including captive individuals. It will resolve NO if there is strong evidence in 2100 that the California Condor persists.

According to the Ventana Wildlife Society there is a total population of 561 condors (344 wild, and 217 captive). Although numbers are much higher than some decades, such a small population makes the species highly vulnerable.
