Recovered Bolivian condors back in the wild

Two Andean condors were released into the wild in Paca municipality, southeast of the Bolivian capital, on Tuesday.

They had been rescued by the Bolivian Ministry of Environment and the municipality of Palca, after being reported injured.

The two female condors, aged 5 and 8, were released after two weeks' rehabilitation.

The rescue comes after 34 condors had died in February.

Authorities are investigating the deaths.

The condor is not only part of Bolivia's emblem; it is considered the king of the Andes for being one of the world's largest birds capable of flight.

It is also listed as a "vulnerable species in extinction" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
