About This Camera

The Aquarium of the Pacific houses a colony of African penguins as part of a managed conservation breeding program for a species that has lost more than 95% of its wild population. The cam shows nesting, preening, and the colony's lively social life.

Conservation Context

CR·Critically EndangeredPopulation decreasing

Critically Endangered. Extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.

Primary threats

Collapse of the sardine and anchovy fisheries they depend on, competition with commercial fishing, oil spills, and climate-driven shifts in prey.

Conservation actions

No-take fishing zones around key colonies, hand-rearing of abandoned chicks for release, artificial nest programs, and oil-spill response by groups like SANCCOB.
