ADOPT A PENGUIN
Adélie penguins are captivating, inquisitive – and incredibly vulnerable to threats like climate change. As their numbers drop they urgently need your support.
THE PERFECT GIFT FOR ANIMAL LOVERS 🎁
Supercharge your impact by selecting an ongoing adoption from as little as $15 per month. With an ongoing adoption you’ll receive regular email updates so you can see the difference your generous support is making.
Monthly donations make it easier to plan for the long-term, helping to keep administration costs down and providing a huge boost to vital conservation work. You’ll always be in control of your giving and can easily contact us should your circumstances change.
Climate change is threatening our frosty friends
Adélie penguins live along the Antarctic coast and islands. But climate change is reducing the amount of sea-ice – and in turn impacting the krill populations penguins rely on for food. Increased pressure from fishing is also threatening this vital food source.
As a result, Adélie populations have fallen by more than 65% in the past 25 years. We can't let this continue.
Adopt a penguin today and you’ll be helping to protect them and other vulnerable animals from extinction. Your kindness will help defend their habitat and food sources, to ensure our incredible wildlife remain part of our world forever.

How your donation can help vulnerable wildlife
By symbolically adoption a penguin today, you’ll be helping to protect penguins and other vulnerable wildlife under threat. When you choose an animal adoption, you are supporting both your chosen animal as well as wider work to help wildlife and nature thrive.
Protect penguins' food sources
You’ll be helping drive work to reduce illegal and unsustainable fishing practices, so penguins and other marine creatures have adequate food to survive.
Increase marine protected areas (MPAs)
Your support will help expand MPAs that boost resilience to climate change and human activities such as fishing. More protected areas will help support the entire marine ecosystem.
Combatting climate change
From protecting our forests from landclearing and planting more trees to capture climate-causing carbon. To working with governments to transition to green energy and strengthen climate policy. Your support is critical to helping create a more climate resilient world.
Reducing plastic pollution
You’ll be helping to raise awareness and supporting work to advocate our governments to phase out single-use plastics that end up in our waterways and oceans.
Penguins need your kindness
When you adopt a penguin, we want you to join them on their journey to a safer future. Your special adoption gift pack includes an optional cuddly penguin plush toy, penguin factbook, adoption certificate, Living Planet magazine and WWF sticker. If you sign-up to a monthly adoption, you'll also receive regular updates on how your generous donations are helping to conserve and protect the world's most vulnerable wildlife.
