	Penguins: Little (Blue) Penguins - Eudyptula minor
		Penguins are killed by cars at a number of places where they cross coastal roads at night to reach their burrows; notably Phillip Island and Portland in Victoria, Bruny Island and Lillico Beach in Tasmania, and Oamaru and Wellington in New Zealand.
		Approximately 10% of the penguin population on Phillip Island is exposed to tourism.
		Penguin viewing has obvious cultural and financial benefits to local and regional communities, and the generation of revenue by the penguins, and public interest in the penguins, are persuasive factors in ensuring their proper management.

	People: Jo Lusby of Penguin Group
		This year Jo took up the post of China representative of Penguin Group, one of the world’s largest publishing houses, and one with their sights firmly set on the prizes of the Chinese market.
		Many high profile Penguin authors are on the books for Chinese translations and launches in the coming year, and the appetite in international markets for Chinese texts is clearly growing.
		Although Penguin has no specific quotas or plans to market masses of books — ‘we plan to do a small number of books, but do them extremely well’, says Jo — her appointment is more than likely to pave the way for similar moves from other publishing giants.
