VOICED : Matanza de pingüinos por construcción de camino en Argentina

In Argentina, a landowner faces legal action for destroying the habitat of Magellanic penguins near Punta Tombo, a major colony site. Excavators destroyed nests, and electrified fences were reported. This habitat loss is critical as penguins are loyal to their nests, which are essential for mating and raising chicks. The Global Penguin Society estimates 292 chicks or eggs were lost, with unknown adult casualties. Most landowners support conservation, balancing livestock production with wildlife preservation and ecotourism. Punta Tombo hosts nearly half a million penguins, who return each September to breed, with chicks hatching in November and cared for until April.
