At Parque Pingüino Rey we develop a research project that contemplates internal and collaborative studies, making this king penguin community one the few colonies located in public/private areas, within this kind of research. This provides major biological information and about its relationship with the environment, which allow to assess trails and viewpoints, as well as managing a sustainable touristic activity that creates awareness about conservation of the flora and fauna surrounding us.
Colony monitoring is held on a daily basis, which is developed by Global Penguin Society collaborators since 2011-2013. Since 2014, the following researches have been held.
In these projects, the following are involved:
The development and logistics of these projects are mainly funded by King Penguin Park, and in some cases other collaborating institutions.
Some of the results of these research projects were presented at the Ninth International Penguin Congress, which was held in September 2016 in Cape Town, South Africa.
