M Sai Baba Penguin Awareness Day https://niascomm.in/2026/01/22/penguin-awareness-day/ SciComm@NIAS Highlights the need for conservation and global action. Nearly two-thirds of Penguin species are in decline, with African penguins listed as critically endangered. Penguins stand as a remarkable example of evolutionary adaptation: they are birds that lost the ability to fly but evolved to "fly" underwater, becoming highly specialised marine predators. Penguins are iconic survivors of Earth's harshest climates, but human-driven changes are pushing many species toward extinction. |
