Center for Ecosystem Sentinels
https://ecosystemsentinels.org
Mission
The Center for Ecosystem Sentinels is the umbrella organization for The Magellanic and Galápagos Penguin Projects, iGalapagos.org, iArgentina.org, and student research and education programs. The Center works to understand what sentinel species are telling us, protect their environment, and inspire others to take action. We train the next generation of scientists and make a positive contribution to sentinel species and their habitats through field studies, long-term datasets, scientific publications, persuasive communication of conservation science to the general public, mentorship of early-career scientists, and use of science to inform the public and guide policy.
Core Services Offered
The Center emails an update to interested individuals periodically and works to support the International union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Penguin Specialist Group.
