🦅 A new life soars in the Ecuadorian Andes!
At Gentian Trails, we are proud to share stories that remind us of the power of nature and the importance of protecting it.
💚 On National Andean Condor Day, we celebrate the incredible news that fills our hearts with hope: Ares, a female Andean condor monitored since 2014 and marked with wing tag #6, has become a mother once again!
🔭 Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Fundación Cóndor Andino, the birth of her second chick — a male born free in the highlands of Pichincha — has been confirmed after a long and careful monitoring process.
✅ This is a vital step for the conservation of this majestic species in Ecuador.
🌄 Wildlife is being reborn among the mountains — and with it, the future of the Andean condor grows stronger.
We deeply admire and thank the work of Fundación Cóndor Andino, who for over a decade has led scientific efforts to protect this iconic bird of the Andes.
💚 Science for conservation. Life for the condor.
