Have you noticed that a lot of the recent conversations on climate change are about the Arctic and Antarctic regions? The amount of ice that is melting is a good measure of global warming, and so is the health of the animals that live in those parts. And that’s why penguins are so important!

In fact, several studies have found a direct link between the penguin population and climate change. This is particularly because penguins are easy to track, owing to their black coats against the white ice, and the fact that they nest on land.

With Penguin Awareness Day coming up on 20th January, it’s a good time to learn more about these amazing creatures. While older kids can watch documentaries, younger kids can start with some fun books about penguins.
