It is happening!
After almost three long years of trying to get research permits allowing us to add Erect-crested and Eastern Rockhopper penguins to the Tawaki Project portfolio, we today received the signed permit documents.
So expect to learn a lot about penguin species many people do not even know they exist!
UPDATE: While we had planned to go in the first Bounty/Antipodes expedition in late 2021, the funders have pulled out of the project. However, we are working on a new funding scheme and are confident that it will happen in 2022!
