How does your sponsorship help?
By sponsoring Galapagos Penguins, you will learn more about this unique, but threatened species, while supporting the Charles Darwin Foundation’s work to contribute to their protection, as well as that of other Galapagos species. Threats such as climate change, introduced species, diseases, pollution and fishery activity all put the Galapagos penguin at immediate risk of population decline. In partnership with the Galapagos National Park Directorate, our Population Studies of Marine Birds project is carrying out annual monitoring of this species.
