Issue

Penguins come in all shapes and sizes, 18 different species spread across every continent of the Southern Hemisphere. From the warm southwestern coasts of Africa to the forests of New Zealand, and of course the icy snow covered desert of Antarctica, penguins are a crucial and irreplaceable part of the planet’s ecosystem. According to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, four penguin species are now considered “Endangered”, five as “Vulnerable”, and another five as “Near Threatened’.
