Ghost Rookeries
Climate Change and the Adelie Penguin
The E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation (EOWBF) and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) will be embarking on an exciting new initiative beginning in the summer of 2013. Beginning with "Ghost Rookeries: Climate Change and the Adelie Penguin" (4 minutes, 2013), short videos produced by the EOWBF will be shown at select AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums located in the United States. With the vast reach of AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums, Ghost Rookeries and future videos will be seen by millions of visitors.
