The Penguin Foundation raises funds to protect and preserve Phillip Island's unique flora and fauna, including little penguins. Adopt a penguin today!
(1)

The Penguin Foundation raises funds to protect and enhance Phillip Island's natural environment through research, conservation and education programs. Phillip Island supports significant native vegetation communities and wildlife populations as well as international migratory bird species within its woodland, wetland and coastal environments. This remarkable biodiversity and quality of ecosystems

means Phillip Island is one of Victoria’s truly special places and we are dedicated to funding the conservation of these important natural values for both current and future generations. Donors can kindly contribute this work through our Giving Programs, including Adopt a Penguin. Support is also provided through grants, sponsorships, partnerships and in-kind support.

Another echidna friend back in the wild! 🦔

The dedicated team at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre treated this prickly little guy for a skin infection. After responding well, they were safely released near their rescue site.

The Penguin Foundation and its generous donors are delighted to provide funding to help these magical rehabilitation and release moments keep on happening ♥

This World Earth Day, the Penguin Foundation team extends sincere thanks to our donors for generously supporting our vital conservation work.

We are a proud funder of the ‘Future-proofing little penguins’ project. Over this three-year project, in excess of 36,000 plants have been put in the ground, including 28,500 plants on firebreaks on the Summerland Peninsula. More than 7,500 plants have gone into target areas of little penguin habitat. This massive effort was achieved through the combined efforts of Phillip Island Nature Parks staff and volunteers, Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation Natural Resource Management staff, the Penguin Foundation team and volunteer groups.

Extra special thanks goes to our corporate partners at Royal Canin, Toyota Australia, Scotch College, NAB and Penguin Books Australia who have enthusiastically joined us over many years for some highly productive planting days. 🌳
