Hoiho: 세계에서 가장 희귀한 펭귄이 주목을 받다

Share:

올해의 새 대회는 멸종위기종인 호이호 (노란눈펭귄) 를 중심으로 국제적인 주목을 받고 있습니다.뉴질랜드 본토에 131쌍만 남아 있는 호이호는 인간 활동과 기후 변화로 인한 수많은 위협에 직면해 있어 환경 보호론자들의 생존을 최우선 과제로 삼고 있습니다.

호이호 인구는 서식지 파괴, 포식, 오염 및 남획과 같은 해양 위협으로 인해 심각한 영향을 받았습니다.흔히 “오션 센티넬”이라고 불리는 이 펭귄은 해양 생태계 건강의 주요 지표이지만, 이러한 위협의 누적된 영향으로 인해 취약성이 커지고 있습니다.

옐로우아이드 펭귄 트러스트, 더니든 와일드라이프 병원, OPERA 등 더니든 단체들이 호이호를 구하기 위한 노력을 주도하고 있다.이들의 활동에는 획기적인 연구, 재활, 환경 복원 등이 포함됩니다. 야생동물 병원은 최근 호이호 알을 키우고 부화시킨 세계 최초의 사례를 기념하기도 했습니다.

호이호를 구하기 위한 캠페인은 제인 구달 박사와 헬렌 클라크 전 뉴질랜드 총리와 같은 세계적인 인사들의 지지를 받았습니다.버드 오브 더 이어 (Bird of the Year) 대회가 이틀 밖에 남지 않은 지금, 호이호가 선두를 달리고 있지만, 레이스는 아직 가까워 너무 늦기 전에 이 상징적인 종을 보호하는 것이 시급하다는 것을 알 수 있습니다.
