When Donald Trump announced tariffs on the Heard and McDonald Islands—remote, uninhabited islands home only to penguins—Penguins International seized the moment to turn the global news story into a conservation opportunity. Because, coincidentally, penguins were also beginning their annual migratory march. So Penguins International transformed it into the Protest March of the Penguins: a livestreamed event that was equal parts educational and shareable. Overnight, penguin conservation moved from the bottom of the priority list to the center of the global conversation, driving a historic surge in donations—simply by doing what penguins do best: marching.
