Bibliography
[edit]Edit this section to compile the bibliography for your Wikipedia assignment. Add the name and/or notes about what each source covers, then use the "Cite" button to generate the citation for that source.
This source covers lead and cadmium levels found in Galapagos Penguins. It is a case study that includes methods and the results of the experiment that tested for these metals in wildlife. [1]
This source covers climate change that occurs on the Galapagos Islands and how El Nino impacts the environment, in turn the animals that inhabit the islands. It directly mentions Galapagos penguins are affected by the climate change and how they cannot find food as a result. [2]
This source, a first hand account of a personal document from a traveler to the Galapagos Islands, discusses ecotourism and confirms the ecological footprints tourists leave on the island. It does not directly discuss the penguins but rather the conditions of the island. [3]
This source discusses the appearance, diet, habitat, behavior, services, threats, and conservation of Galapagos penguins. It demonstrates how the penguins are affected by climate change and how aspects of their lives have changed due to it. It is a good source for overall information about Galapagos penguins.[4]
This source simply states that the Galapagos penguins are found on Fernandina island on the Galapagos and describes the weather conditions. [5]
This source covers some information regarding the decline of population due to external reasoning and general updated information[6]
This source covers where they're located and their feeding behavior. [7]

Outline of proposed changes
[edit]Click on the edit button to draft your outline.
- We will expand on the relationship between the Galápagos penguins and the Galápagos islands, specifically Fernandina Island [1] and Isabela Island which they inhabit the most. How they affect their environment, and how they have adapted to the island's conditions. As well as how environmental factors have affected their life expectancy and population. [2]
- We will explore the reasons why they are endangered, and their species conservation status is threatened. As well as how the species population has fluctuated due to anthropogenic climate change
- During the El Nino season, breeding rates slow down as food becomes scarce; competition for food makes it challenging for penguins to survive. In addition, El Nino has the potential to alter regular ocean currents around the Galapagos, adding a potentially difficult task for penguins hunting for food. Lastly, we would mention the nest flooding that occurs during this season, the loss of offspring and food resources.
- We will update the statistics on for the Galapagos penguins regarding how many are left and the effects they have on the environment.
- We will update the statistics on the distribution of the penguins throughout the different islands located.
