there are many concerns about how tourism may threaten the conservation efforts on the island, specifically in terms of penguin populations. for example, near chiloe on the west coast of chile, there are high levels of fishing both to sustain the tourist population and from tourists who themselves wish to participate in fishing. penguins are the main attraction for tourists and sustain the economy of the region, yet they are threatened by a decrease in food sources because of the high fishing levels. another concern is that penguin behavior may change in the presence of humans, which may impact their viability and change the natural aspect of the environment. penguins are shown to produce stress-related hormones when encountering humans, though penguins who live at tourist sites produce fewer hormones than those who do not, suggesting that they have adapted and become more comfortable in the presence of humans. humbert penguins, for example, have been observed to have lower birth rates in the present of high tourism. magellanic penguins are believed to be able to better tolerate humans than other penguin species that exhibit stress responses when even one person is spotted at a distance. while the magellanic penguins may not be affected to the same degree it is still important to minimize human effects on them. additionally, although magellanic penguins may be able to adapt to the presence of humans, this does not necessarily occur quickly. therefore, to give the penguins a chance to grow comfortable, it is important that some parts of the island are prevented from human intrusion. having part of the area secluded allows penguins to become adapted at a distance before being comfortable enough to build nests in the human-visited areas.
