Knit (针织) for Nature

Who We Are

The Penguin Foundation works to protect Phillip Island's native wildlife and enhance the natural environment. One of the key projects is our long-running Knits for Nature program.

Why Your Help matters

For over 20 years, this program has served two critical purposes. Initially, hand-knitted jumpers were essential for saving Little Penguins affected by oil spills (泄漏). When Little Penguins get oiled, they can poison themselves by eating oil. Knitted jumpers help to prevent them from reaching their feathers (羽毛) until rescuers wash them clean. Thanks to the generosity of knitters worldwide, our care center is now well-stocked with these life-saving jumpers for 40,000 penguins.

Today, the program’s primary goal is to seek financial support. We now use these jumpers, dressed on penguin toys, as popular souvenirs sold in our stores. Each sale directly supports our ongoing wildlife protection work.

How You Can Help

We invite you to keep knitting creative jumpers for us! Themed designs such as those featuring Christmas colours, football themes, world flags, or ocean themes are welcomed as souvenirs. For safety, we cannot accept items with buttons or sharp decorations that could pose a danger to children. Please ensure jumpers stick to the following sizes in the picture.

A huge thank you to all the wonderful knitters who have contributed to making a difference for Phillip Island’s precious wildlife!

21. How do the jumpers help save Little Penguins?

A. By lowering care costs. B. By cleaning oily feathers.

C. By acting as important barriers. D. By drawing rescuers’ attention.
