Galapagos penguins, the only species of penguin found north of the equator, are under severe threat due to bycatch around the Galápagos Islands. These unique creatures are already endangered, with an estimated population of just 1,200 left in the wild according to World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The practice of bycatch - unintentional trapping and killing of non-target species during fishing - is pushing these penguins closer to extinction. This petition calls on local and international authorities to enforce stricter regulations on fishing practices around the Galápagos Islands. Let's protect our biodiversity and save these precious birds from disappearing forever. Sign this petition today if you believe in safeguarding our wildlife for future generations.
