Taronga Zoo: Project Penguin
Project Penguin is run by Taronga Zoo’s Education Department and is supported by Coastcare and Junior Landcare.
Through Project Penguin, Northern Beaches Primary and High school students are taught how to help protect the local Little Penguin colonies and the coastal environment that is vital to the species survival. Students learn about Little Penguin breeding, rehabilitation and release at Tarongas Wildlife Hospital, as well as how to tell the community what the Penguins need and how to do a beach audit for the best habitat and caring for coastal bushland.
Over 800 students participate in the program each year.
