[GIVE NOW]](https://als-totem.s3.amazonaws.com/emailimages/32894/GREEN-595-2-edit1.png) | | Kathleen, it's Penguin Awareness Day! And as someone who loves these cute and charismatic Antarctic creatures, I can't celebrate today without also thinking about the threats they face each day. | | That's why I have an urgent ask for you: in order to protect penguins and the ecosystems they call home, we need your support. | | Kathleen, will you make a contribution of $10 or more right now to support our mission to protect our Earth, the penguins, and every other creature who calls it home? For animals that depend on the Antarctic, it could be lifesaving. | | | | In 2020, Greenpeace embarked on an expedition to support research on chinstrap penguins, and our findings shocked us: their numbers have plummeted by almost 60%, with some colonies experiencing a staggering 77% decline since the early seventies. | | Our dedicated team of scientists on the ground described the situation as a "fundamentally changed" ecosystem, and all evidence points to climate change as the primary culprit: | | A warmer world directly affects the availability of food for penguins, particularly krill, which becomes harder to find when there is less winter ice. This, coupled with changes to the land where they nest and raise their chicks, poses a severe existential threat to penguins. | | We cannot stand idly by as their very existence — and the delicate balance of the Antarctic ecosystem — both hang in the balance. | | Greenpeace USA is taking decisive action to address the root causes of this crisis and protect not only penguins but also the entire web of life that depends on a healthy Antarctic environment. But we can't do it alone. | | Will you please make a gift of $10 or more to Greenpeace USA in honor of Penguin Awareness Day? Your donation will enable us to continue our crucial work advocating for policies that combat climate change, promoting sustainable practices, and pushing for the preservation of vital ecosystems. | | | | Together, we can ensure a brighter future for penguins — and our planet. Thank you for being alongside us in this vital fight. | | Leslie Allen Chief Development Officer Greenpeace USA | | | | | | |
