Sadly, Little Penguins today are facing threats they just can’t defend themselves from. Their colonies in NSW are shrinking dramatically and are being pushed towards the edge of extinction.

Climate change is making it harder for them to find food, they’re choking on plastic debris and are getting caught in fishing nets.

Your kind gift today can help to stop this adorable species from dying out. Will you please help save the last Little Penguins of NSW?

All donations of $2 or more are fully tax-deductible for Australian residents.

Researchers

Your support will help researchers better understand how climate change is impacting food availability for Little Penguins. They can then identify which colonies are most at risk, and how to best protect them.
