An Ocean of Change: How Climate Change and Commercial Fishing Impact African Penguins
Saturday, February 21 | Noon
Como Friends members are invited to “Waddle Into Action” at a special conservation weekend sponsored by Xcel Energy at Como Park Zoo & Conservatory!
Join Aquatics Zookeeper Kelley Dinsmore for an in-depth discussion on the dramatic decline of African penguins in the wild over the past 50 years. Learn how programs like AZA SAFE and SANCCOB are working to stabilize and reverse this trend, and hear firsthand about penguin conservation efforts in South Africa.
Bring your lunch, settle in, and get an inside look at caring for African penguins, both in the wild and right here at Como.
*The content and format of the Community Lunch & Learn is specifically geared toward an adult audience.
Seats for the Lunch & Learn are very limited, with only 60 places reserved for members. Advance RSVP required.
Sign up below—if the form does not appear, please call Como Friends at 651-487-8229 to join the waitlist.
