HOW TO CELEBRATE WORLD PENGUIN DAY
To celebrate Penguins, you are expected to raise awareness and suggest solutions to the problems faced by Penguins in our today’s society. According to a report by Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition, Penguins spend more than seventy five percent of their lives in the sea.
In the world we are today, a lot of indecomposable materials are being doped to the sea, the health of the oceans are indisputably imperative for penguins to survive.
By removing and reducing fisheries from penguin habitats, as well as shipping lanes, pollution and other developments, penguins can be protected.
