Unveiling the Secrets of the Galápagos Penguin

The Marine Bird Conservation Program combines science and passion to protect one of the rarest penguin species on Earth. By studying population trends, survival rates, and behavior, researchers at the Charles Darwin Foundation (CDF) use innovative methods like photo identification and PIT-tags to monitor individuals with minimal disturbance. This research not only deepens our understanding of these endangered birds but also highlights their role as indicators of marine ecosystem health. With fewer than 2,000 individuals left, urgent conservation actions are needed. Join the effort—adopt a penguin and support their protection!
