Penguin Awareness Day
Penguin Awareness Day
January 20th is annually celebrated as Penguin Awareness Day, so it’s important we use our voices to raise awareness of how individuals and communities can protect penguin species.
There are 18 penguin species that primarily reside in the Southern Hemisphere, 72% of these species show declining populations and 5 are considered endangered. Tragically, without the necessary protection protocols and conservation measures, these species will face extinction.
So how can you do your part to protect these penguins? By consuming responsibly, educating yourself about ethical seafood and sustainable farming practises, ensuring your fuel and oil lines are operational due to the deadly impacts of oil pollution on marine habitats, researching what you can do to reduce your carbon emissions and supporting the conservation work that’s saving our penguins every day.
