Penguins are fascinating creatures that can weigh between 3.3 and 30 pounds and grow up to 48 inches. They are native to oceans in the southern hemisphere and the Galagos Islands. Their diet primarily consists of marine creatures such as fish, crabs, shrimp, squid, octopus, or krill. However, the conservation status of these birds is concerning. Five species are listed as Endangered, five are Vulnerable, and three are Near Threatened.
The problem is that penguins are extremely sensitive to climate change. Overfishing and entanglement in fishing gear are significant threats. Moreover, the degradation or loss of their breeding habitat has severely impacted nesting success. You can find more information about this on websites like the World Wildlife Fund and Global Penguin Society.
To protect penguins, researchers have proposed several ‘marine protected areas’ which would safeguard these important areas for the penguins. If all the proposed marine protected areas were adopted, then conservation of high-quality areas would increase by 49% to 100%, depending on the species. The Global Penguin Society is also working on improving scientific knowledge on critical aspects of the biology and ecology of penguin species to guide conservation actions.
