Who decides which species to save? California condor recovery raises hard questions

The California condor was declared extinct in the wild in 1987 when the last free-flying bird was taken into captivity. Now, after decades of captive breeding and reintroduction that cost millions of dollars, more than 300 condors have returned to the skies. The bird's dramatic comeback prompts a broader question as global biodiversity talks continue: who gets to decide which species are worth saving, and how do we make those choices fairly?

What criteria do you think should matter most when deciding which species to prioritize for saving?
