Bonus Penguin Fact

It wouldn’t be an SFDC Penguin post without a penguin related-fact. This time, I want to highlight the efforts going into conservation and protection of the Humboldt Penguin (Spheniscus humboldti). 

Humboldt Penguins are native to Chile and Peru. However, their populations are in a state of decline, with the IUCN’s (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List categorising them as ‘Vulnerable’. There are various factors contributing to this including, but not limited to:

  • Habitat loss
  • Overfishing by humans
  • Climate change
  • Pollution
As a result, efforts are being made to safeguard their future. Click here to see one such example of conservation, where a lost Humboldt Penguin was rescued.
