Transcript (English)

- When I was two or three years old, my grandmother used to tell me fantastic stories about penguins. The first time I visited a penguin colony, I really felt that this is the mission of my life. Excellent. There you go. 3.8 kilograms. What is happening now is that we are posing a lot of threats to the wildlife. We need to inspire change. When we work in conservation, we don't work for ourselves. We work to protect the wildlife. It belongs to all of us.

I am Pablo Garcia Borboroglu. I am a penguin researcher and conservationist.
