Stat: The penguin population in Punta Tombo,
Argentina, has declined by 43 percent since 1987.
Story: Not all of those birds are dying: Many are
relocating to areas with more prey—a move aided by their ability to
swim 170 kilometers a day—and 200,000 breeding pairs remain in
Punta Tombo. But expert Dee Boersma, known as the Jane Goodall of
penguins, says the decline may foretell worrying trends in the
ecosystem. Host Dan LeDuc sits down with Boersma, and hears from a
few of the penguins, to learn more.
