National Penguin Dashboard

Our national database is a comprehensive collection of penguin data from community groups across New Zealand who monitor penguin colonies and undertake scientific research

Results are featured on our penguin dashboard showcasing trends in breeding success to help inform the local, regional and national status of penguin populations enabling communities and key stakeholders to improve conservation outcomes for penguins and their habitats.
