How can we help the galapagos penguin - Galapagos penguin population conservation effortsGalapagos Conservancy, Inc.
During the last few years, the answer is yes! Population levels are influenced by the effects of the El Niño Southern Oscillation, which reduces the availability of shoaling fish, leading to low reproduction or starvation.
Other wildlife, such as some species of marine iguanas, also use these rocky surfaces for their nests, competing with penguins in a few remaining places.

Among these species is the Galapagos penguin, a curiosity, as it lives in tropical waters and is the most northerly of all species.
15 steps to help save the Galapagos Islands
In order to succeed, projects need to link everything from species management to habitat restoration and tackling the human issues.
Unlike most cold-water penguins, they have several adaptations that allow them to tolerate the warmer climate of Galapagos.

- Visitors to Galapagos can help by uploading photos of penguins and providing date and location. As this database grows, it helps Dr. Boersma’s research team to determine when penguins are molting and track when juveniles appear in the population.

- Penguins are threatened by pollution, bycatch and climate change. Introduced species, such as dogs, carry diseases that can spread to penguins as well, and cats pose a threat as predators. Past strong El Niño events have caused mortalities of up to 77 percent, with dramatic declines of prey species and reduced breeding success.

- Threats. Galapagos penguins are largely threatened by environmental change and human impact. Drastic and frequent climatic events that reduce the density of penguin populations within their small range can reduce the species’ resistance to other threats, such as disease epidemics, oil spills and predators.

- Save the Galapagos Penguin. The Galapagos Penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus) is a penguin endemic to the Galapagos Islands. It is the only penguin that lives north of the equator in the wild. It can survive due to the cool temperatures resulting from the Humboldt Current and cool waters from great depths brought up by the Cromwell Current.
