Adopt A Penguin

Help the conservation of the ‘Great British’ Falklands penguins by adopting a penguin with the Falklands conservation. Volunteer Point is currently home to 1,200 adult King penguins with 345 chicks and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Falklands. Over 1,000 tourists come to this remote spot between November and March. Falklands Conservation will be appointing a warden to prevent undue disturbance by visitors to which King Penguins are particularly susceptible and which can lead to abandonment of their one egg (carried in a fold of skin on their feet). Research programmes need support to monitor the diet of Falkland penguins, their population and breeding success and so provide vital information in assessing the impact of commercial fisheries and other threats to their survival.
