There's an estimated 32,000 little penguins living in our backyard here at Phillip Island Nature Parks and the large population size has a lot to do with intensive conservation efforts over the last 25 years. We're a not-for-profit organisation and the money raised through ecotourism activities is going into projects to protect the penguins and their habitat.
