Friends of the Earth Adélie Penguin Necklace

Adélie Penguin

Penguins are both adored and revered, and the cute but tough Adélie is no exception! Named after Adélie d'Urville - the wife of French polar explorer Dumont d'Urville, the petite Adélie penguin is native to Antarctica, and is a species increasingly under threat from habitat loss due to the melting polar ice caps caused by climate change.

25th April marks World Penguin Day, and takes place during the annual northern migration of Adélie penguins, where they journey to have better access to food as the sea ice expands during the winter months. By helping to protect Adélie penguins, we can benefit all of the wildlife that depend on this ocean environment.

Hedgehog Necklace

Once a common sight, we all get a little bit excited on the rare occasions we spot Britain’s most beloved garden creature, and only spiny mammal - the elusive Hedgehog!

Due to widespread habitat destruction, their populations are declining at an alarming rate - and in 2020 they were sadly listed as ‘Vulnerable to Extinction’ for the first time ever.

Luckily, there are so many simple things you can do to support your friendly neighbourhood hedgehogs - from the creation of ‘Hedgehog Highways’ linking neighbouring gardens to limiting your use of insecticides!
