EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo print, captured by photographer Dani Pozo, we witness a beautiful moment between a Gentoo penguin and its chick at the Faunia park zoo in Madrid. Dated July 15,2014, this image marks a significant milestone for the park as it celebrates the first-ever hatching of two penguin chicks from three couples of Gentoo penguins since its inauguration in 2001. The adorable scene showcases the nurturing nature of these incredible creatures as the adult penguin delicately feeds its offspring. Alongside these rare multiple births, Faunia park has also welcomed nine new Gentoo chicks to their growing penguin population this summer. Additionally, two Humboldt penguins and one Magallanico have been born—a noteworthy achievement considering their vulnerable status according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. This photograph not only captures an intimate bond between parent and child but also highlights the conservation efforts undertaken by Faunia park to protect endangered species like Humboldt and Magallanico penguins. The dedication shown by both staff members and animals alike is evident in this touching portrayal. Through AFP's lens, we are reminded of our responsibility to safeguard these remarkable creatures for future generations. This image serves as a reminder that every birth counts when it comes to preserving biodiversity and raising awareness about threatened species worldwide.
