Sealife | Humbolt Penguin

Due to a declining population mainly caused by activities such as over-fishing, climate change, habitat destruction, and the introduction of detrimental invasive species, the Humboldt penguin is currently considered vulnerable on the conversation status spectrum. Current estimates suggest the global Humboldt penguin population is around 7,500 individuals. Although their numbers have been declining since the mid-19th century, there have been many positive steps towards stabilizing their numbers, including the enactment of new laws and the establishment of protective sanctuaries.
