California condors, large, predatory birds that were previously on the edge of extinction, have benefited from a program that raises birds in captivity and then releases them into the wild. the reintroduction program, however, is having variable success. if it were determined that condor reproduction along the coast is being harmed by ddt in the condors' foods, which action would be most useful to improve the situation?

To create policies to control or forbid the use of DDT

To create educational programs for the people.

Explanation:

As the individual can not be controlled once it is released, the actions to take abut this problem must be focused on other perspectives. Two main actions would be usefull to improve the condors´ situation:

One of them is to create policies to control or forbid the use of DDT, to reduce contamination in different food and water sources. There are too many animals that get contaminated for feeding on vegetables or other animals grown on perturbed soil, and for drinking polluted water. When these animals die, condor feeds on them and also dies. It is important to avoid using these products that affect the whole biodiversity, including human beings.

The other action is to educate people. It is very important to create educational programs that are accessible to everybody and by which it is possible to teach people about the condors´ biology, feeding behavior, and reproductive rate, among others. People should know that these animals are not dangerous, that they only feed on dead animals, and that their reproduction rate is very low. If people do not have any knowledge about this species and its situation, they will not be able to protect it.

for  example, forests have higher evapotranspiration than other ecosystems,  such  as grasslands, because of their deeper roots and greater leaf area. thus forests have a net moistening effect on the atmosphere and become a moisture source for downwind ecosystems.
