In honour of World Penguin Day, the Al Ain Zoo has stated that it would emphasise its initiatives to protect and conserve penguins.
88 Humboldt penguins, a species that is considered endangered according to statistics and the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red list. The zoo’s continued dedication to penguin conservation is demonstrated by the numerous training programme it has put in place to ensure the highest levels of care and advance the welfare of the animals. Initiatives that promote positive behavior and involvement in social interactions are part of these programme.
Visitors to the zoo particularly enjoy the experience of feeding the penguins, which allows them to observe the birds up close and take memorable photos. Along with this experience, the zoo also offers educational material about penguins, the difficulties they encounter in the wild, and strategies for saving them from extinction.
Al Ain Zoo also operates a number of other wildlife conservation activities in addition to its efforts to conserve penguins. The Biodiversity Study Programme, which classifies animal species and keeps tabs on migrating birds and butterflies, is one of the most prominent of them. A bigger number of birds have settled at the zoo, showing that they regard Al Ain Zoo as a new resting spot, and the programme has been successful in observing new species.
