A new organization has been created to focus attention on the fragile status of the worlds penguin populations. The Global Penguin Society - GPS's website was launched at the 7th world penguin conference by Argentine biologist, Garcia (Popi) Borboroglu.
"The Global Penguin Society is dedicated to the survival and protection of the world´s penguin species, fostering integrated ocean conservation through science, management and community education. GPS está dedicada a la conservación de pingüinos".
"Global Penguin Society was launched in 2009 with a Pew Fellowship to Popi Borboroglu, a scientist based in Puerto Madryn, Argentina. The society will develop and advocate solutions for sustainable marine activities and management, drawing on penguins as charismatic, keystone species."
More on this to come.
