Adopt a penguin

Adélie penguins depend on sea ice for their main food source - krill. But parts of the Antarctic and Southern Ocean are warming rapidly, which is affecting the penguins feeding grounds. Help us protect the penguins and their habitat.

How you are helping the penguins

  • Improving the management of Antarctica’s resources and safeguarding its wildlife
  • Establishing a network of marine protected areas covering at least 10% of the 20 million km2 Southern Ocean
  • Reducing illegal and unsustainable fishing practices
  • Raising awareness of the threats of climate change we all face
  • Your support will also help fund other essential WWF conservation work around the world
