17. African Penguin (Spheniscus demersus): Endangered

It's essential to note that conservation efforts and protections have been implemented for threatened and endangered penguin species, and there have been some positive outcomes. Long-term monitoring and conservation strategies are crucial for the survival of these incredible birds and their habitats.
