The biggest
iceberg in the world just split off from Antarctica. And now
it's headed directly for an island full of penguins and other
wildlife. And if ever the two should meet, it could spell
disaster. Thousands of King penguins, as well as Macaroni,
Chinstrap, and Gentoo penguins, seals, and albatrosses call
this island, known as the British Overseas Territory of South
Georgia, home. But if the iceberg runs around on their shores,
it could cut off their access to vital foraging routes,
depriving them of food and ultimately leading penguin
parents and their babies to starve to death. Sign the petition to demand that the UK fund a
scientific mission to feed, care for, and save these
penguins!
The reason this particular
gigantic 'berg is adrift is because of climate change. Experts
predict the iceberg has a 50 percent chance of colliding with
the island, and that if this does happen, we only have 20 or
maybe 30 days before it does — so we have to put a
plan together now in order to save the animals! Urge the British government to help these
precious penguins now! They cannot be left to starve to death
— especially because of a problem that we humans
caused.
Thank you,
