Aquarium welcomes seven endangered African penguin chicks

Original: Aquarium welcomes 7 baby African Penguins, a critically endangered species

An aquarium has announced the birth of seven African penguin chicks, a species listed as critically endangered in the wild. The arrivals are being presented as a positive step for conservation of the species, whose wild populations have collapsed due to overfishing, habitat loss and climate change. The chicks are expected to become a focus of the aquarium's breeding and education programmes.

Why now: Rare breeding success for a critically endangered species draws widespread attention and goodwill.
