Let’s Save The Humboldt Penguin

The world is losing one of the main breeding colonies of the Humboldt Penguin in Central Chile. CODEFF (BirdLife in Chile) is taking action now on Isla Pájaro Niño de Algarrobo and needs your help.

Your support will allow CODEFF to address threats at this Important Bird and Biodiversity Area through training local fishermen and other community members in ecotourism, invasive species control, and bird monitoring.

The Humboldt Penguin lives in the chilly Humboldt Current along the Pacific Coast of Peru and Chile. Safe breeding sites are key to the species survival. This site is threatened by human disturbance and an artificial breakwater that provides invasive rodents easy access to the island where they feed on the seabirds’ eggs. Through this campaign CODEFF and area residents can ensure a healthy Penguin population for years to come.

On behalf of CODEFF and the Humboldt Penguin Thank you!

Al Hima Magazine 5th Issue

This edition of Al Hima magazine weaves together inspiring stories of nature conservation and community resilience, highlighting how Lebanon is being stitched back to life—one Hima at a time. The Society for the Protection of Nature in Lebanon (SPNL) continues its mission to preserve the country’s natural heritage by empowering local communities. A cornerstone of this effort is the BioConnect project, funded by the European Union, which has achieved three national firsts: Lebanon’s first natural park (Upper Matn), first geological park (Shouf-Jezzine), and first endowment Hima (Btekhnay).
