Having just attended my sister’s wedding at the Baltimore zoo, animals, and in particularly penguins, have been on my mind more than usual. And yes believe it or not there was a penguin there for us to take our photos with. And ironically, while masks for COVID-19 weren’t required, masks for taking a picture with the penguin were, because of an Avian flu outbreak.
Why Adopt a Penguin?
Ice caps are melting at an unprecedented rate as a result of climate change, causing penguins to lose their homes and their food supply. In some areas, the penguin population has decreased by as much as 80%.
How Can I Adopt A Penguin?
You can adopt a penguin by visiting ChangeThePresent.org, who the NY Times recently called “an Amazon.com of the nonprofit world.”
