It is Penguin AWARENESS Day not Penguin APPRECIATION Day.
Because man is doing a lot of unhelpful stuff threatening penguins.
Melting ice and overfishing in Antarctica is crashing the food web the penguins depend upon. For specifics from an eye-witness, read Fraser’s Penguins: A Journey to the Future in Antarctica by Fen Montaigne.
People are doing a lot of good stuff to protect their habitat and make it to another generation. Like Dr. McSweeney in New Zealand.
Be aware. Do good stuff before they are gone.
