Everybody loves penguins, and not just because movies like Happy Feet made sure that we would absolutely and irrevocably fall for these cute looking animals.

This year's April 25 marks World Penguin Day (I am not making things up, there really is such a thing as the World Penguin Day) and Greenpeace is asking that people all around the world take the time and sign an online petition aimed at keeping both penguins and their homes safe.

“World Penguin Day is April 25 - Right now there is an opportunity to protect these amazing animals by helping establish the world’s two largest sanctuaries at sea around Antarctica,” the petition reads.

Furthermore, “Adding your voice will help protect countless penguins, whales, seals and nearly 10,000 other incredible species.”

Those wishing to sign the petition and help save the penguins' home in the Antarctica can do so here.
