Watch this video about African penguins. What are the pros and cons to the conservation program stated in the

video?

The conservationists effectively identified a problem, specifically that young penguins were underweight. They fed the young birds, increasing the probability that they would reach reproductive age. The program also ensured that the young penguins could survive in the wild, by teaching them survival skills. A limitation of this program is that after the birds return to the wild, they face the same problems of high competition and limited food supply. Although the program increases their chances for reproduction, it doesn’t guarantee that they’ll be successful.

•individuals with one version of the trait must produce more offspring than those with a different version of the trait.good
