The Jujuy National Wildlife Service Center (CAFAJu), dependent on the Ministry of Environment of the Province of Jujuy, aims to rescue and rehabilitate wild fauna, which enter the center by seizures of national and provincial public forces, rescues Made by the technicians of center and voluntary deliveries. Up to now, 87 individuals have been worked with birds, of which 14 were volunteered by the population, 73 were rescued by CAFAJu personnel and confiscated by the public security force. Of all the birds that entered 30 were rehabilitated and reconstituted in their place of origin, 9 species remain in the center to continue the rehabilitation. The Bioandina Foundation in the Andean Condor Conservation (Vultur grhyphus) was referred to 7 specimens with symptoms of intoxication, of which 6 were poisoned with pesticides and lead in blood and one specimen was in the evaluation of their physical and sanitary conditions. The recovery, rehabilitation and release of six Jujuy condors were achieved. Before the liberations, talks are held in schools and in the community, which aims to make the whole population aware of the role of the Andean Condor in our environment.
