"During each Antarctica
expedition, the continent's resident penguin population is the star
of the show, and our guests always delight in observing penguin
behavior and activities in their natural habitat," shares
James Rodriguez, president and CEO
of Atlas Ocean Voyages. "This partnership will deliver added expert
knowledge from the conservationists of the Global Penguin Society,
and we look forward to welcoming them onboard to educate all of
us."
The Global Penguin Society's mission is to protect all 18
species and their ecosystems in the Southern Hemisphere by
generating sound science, protecting habitats, and providing
education. Aboard World Navigator, guests will take in
conversation talks with fellow explorers through the Global Penguin
Society's research, including how they collect biological and
ecological data to monitor populations, track migration patterns,
and assess any threats to conservation efforts as the organization
fulfills its mission.
The Global Penguin Society is a Conservation Partner for the
Wildlife Conservation Network, working collaboratively to protect
penguin species and their habitats. As a Conservation Partner, the
Global Penguin Society benefits from the Wildlife Conservation
Network's expertise, resources, and global reach, enhancing its
ability to conduct vital research, protect critical habitats, and
engage in effective conservation efforts.
Atlas Ocean Voyages is also extending its ongoing partnership
with ORCA, a pioneering marine conservation charity dedicated to
studying and protecting whales, dolphins, and porpoises, along with
their ocean habitats globally. ORCA's mission is to engage
individuals passionate about whale and dolphin conservation,
encouraging them to actively contribute to preserving these
extraordinary creatures. On board World Voyager's 2024
Arctic expeditions, dedicated ocean conservationists will focus on
raising awareness, collecting vital scientific data,
and actively contributing to safeguarding whales and dolphins.
The initiative aims to involve Atlas Ocean Voyages guests in
citizen science projects, allowing them to play an integral role in
conservation efforts.
The partnership will continue to empower Atlas Ocean Voyages
guests to become citizen scientists, actively contributing to
marine conservation efforts while enjoying unforgettable expedition
experiences. Guests will participate in hands-on workshops and
utilize ORCA's Oceanwatchers app. By recording environmental and
sighting information, guests will contribute valuable data to
understand the behavior and movements of these magnificent marine
mammals.
At Atlas Ocean Voyages, we proudly support the Global Penguin
Society's and ORCA's efforts. Through our partnerships, we aim to
raise awareness and contribute to conserving wildlife and their
ecosystems, ensuring these remarkable species thrive for
generations.
