The Yellow-eyed Penguin: A Review of Research and Policy
The latest research on penguin evolution and yellow-eyed penguin genetics is presented and makes the case for unique conservation initiatives. A thorough count of the population in the sub-Antarctic islands has not taken place for twenty years and a top priority for the yellow-eyed penguin is an acc...

The latest research on penguin evolution and yellow-eyed penguin genetics is presented and makes the case for unique conservation initiatives.

In light of communication breakdowns and disjoints with science, yellow-eyed penguin conservation documents from the Department of Conservation are re-evaluated and the efficacy of the Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust’s habitat restoration efforts is critiqued.
