What does Penguins International do?

Penguins International is a nonprofit organization founded on February 15, 2017, with a mission to preserve and protect penguins worldwide. Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, the organization operates with a small team and numerous volunteers, focusing on conservation, scientific research, and public education. Penguins International aims to address the threats faced by penguins, as nine of the eighteen species are at risk of extinction. The organization engages in various activities, including penguin conservation projects in New Zealand and the Falkland Islands, population monitoring of Emperor Penguins, and emergency rescue efforts for oiled penguins. They also promote awareness through remote learning, presentations, and a television docu-series that highlights the importance of penguins in maintaining ecosystem health. Their scientific research employs non-invasive methods to study penguin behavior and the impacts of pollution, sharing findings with the public to foster greater understanding and support for conservation efforts.
