The Global Penguin Society’s clever acronym, GPS, provides a little hint at what they do. On select expeditions, join a GPS conservationist aboard an Antarctica expedition as they track, monitor, and inform vital conservation efforts for ensuring the future of the world’s penguin populations. Working in partnership with the Wildlife Conservation Network – an organization that supports conservationists who ensure wildlife and people coexist and thrive – GPS’s mission is to protect all 18 species and their ecosystems in the Southern Hemisphere by generating sound science, management guidelines and education.
Gain insights into penguin rookeries and the Global Penguin Society’s research through lectures on board and with guidance on shore landings. As the conservationist talks you and your fellow explorers through GPS’s research, you will find out how they collect biological and ecological data to monitor penguin populations, track their migrations and assess any threats to conservation efforts. Fostering this culture of safeguarding the wonders of wildlife, this expedition experience is sure to change your life and help you feel a greater connection with your world.
