View Comment

Dear ladies and gentlemen, this is to inform you that Bristol Zoo Gardens, together with a number of US, South African and international partners, is currently establishing a conservation research project for the African penguin (Spheniscus demersus). This project aims to investigate the factors that lead to breeding site fidelity in the species in order to ultimately establish a methodology for creating new penguin colonies in places closer to the species' main food resources. Please find more information in the attached document, which is due to be published in EAZA News (newsletter of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria) in early 2009. Best regards, Christoph Schwitzer
