Is it true that the California condor population fell to 27 birds in 1987 and has since recovered to more than 500 birds through captive breeding and release?

Yes. A Wikipedia reference states that all remaining wild California condors were captured by 1987, leaving a total population of 27 individuals, that they were bred in captivity and reintroduced starting in 1991, and that the world population had grown to 607 by December 2025. This directly supports the claim that the population fell to 27 in 1987 and has since recovered to more than 500 birds through captive breeding and release.
