The Chilean Government (Corporacion Nacional Forestal)

The Corporacion Nacional Forestal is the government department which protects and manages Chile's forests and national parks. Magdalena Island was designated a government reserve, and put under the protection of the Corporacion Nacional Forestal, because of its importance as a penguin breeding site. The Corporacion Nacional Forestal provides logistical and financial support to the Environmental Research Unit, who run a research project to moitor the health of the island's penguins.

Conservation & Research Foundation, USA

The Conservation & Research Foundation has provided funding to assist our research into the decline of penguins in the Falkland Islands. Data from healthy penguin populations in Chile, where penguins are protected from commercial fishing, has shown that Falkland Islands penguins are declining due to the annual starvation of chicks and juveniles, due to competition for food with the Falklands' commercial fishing industry.
