ADOPT A PENGUIN - ONCE-OFF ADOPTION
Purchase a one-off penguin adoption to receive your special adoption gift pack and help protect penguins forever.
Adélie penguins live along the Antarctic coast and on a number of Antarctic islands.
But as parts of the ocean warm rapidly from climate change, the krill population that penguins depend on for food has been devastated. Increased fishing pressures are also threatening this food source.
Marine pollution, particularly microplastics, is another danger. Along with the invasive species that have arrived on Antarctic on ships, which penguins haven't evolved to defend themselves from. Now, penguin numbers have decreased by as much as 30% in some areas.
We can’t let this continue.
Adopting a penguin today will protect them from extinction.

How do WWF gifts make a difference?
Your penguin adoption could help repopulate, rehabilitate and restore their habitats, symbolising your support for conservation and animal advocacy, and ensuring penguins remain part of our environment forever.
And for each penguin you assist, you'll be helping a host of other species too.
You'll also be teaching younger generations about the importance of conservation.
What you'll receive
Your special adoption gift pack includes an optional cuddly penguin plush toy, fact book, adoption certificate, Living Planet magazine and WWF sticker.
