An Andean condor named Yastay, meaning “God that is protector of the birds”, in the Quechua Indigenous language, spreads his wings after being freed by the Andean Condor conservation program where he was born almost three years prior in Sierra Paileman in the Rio Negro province of Argentina, Friday, October 14, 2022. For 30 years the Andean Condor Conservation Program has hatched chicks in captivity, rehabilitated others and freed them across South America. (Photo by Natacha Pisarenko/AP Photo)
