Enrichment Treats Like Sand Eel Cake Given at Penguin Island

Animal Protection Campaign with Visitor Participation

On April 24, one day before 'World Penguin Day,' Everland, operated by the Resort Division of Samsung C&T Corporation, held a special program to deliver a message about protecting penguins, an endangered species, and marine life.


This program was designed to share the importance of penguin conservation with visitors, in light of threats such as global warming, marine pollution, and habitat changes that have led penguins to become endangered. As part of the initiative, a campaign was also held to display messages about animal protection from customers who participated in a pre-event online activity.


At Penguin Island in Everland that day, zookeepers presented enrichment snacks that penguins enjoy, such as cakes topped with sand eels, and explained practical actions people can take for penguins, such as reducing plastic use and using personal toothbrush cups.


This campaign will also take place at 11:30 a.m. on World Penguin Day itself.



'World Penguin Day' is observed on April 25, chosen to coincide with the time when Antarctic penguins finish breeding and begin migrating north in search of food, as part of efforts to protect penguins threatened by global warming and habitat destruction.
