Did you know April 25 is World Penguin Day!? {I did not, but do now!}
To commemorate World Penguin Day, Stonyfield and Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) are hosting a Facebook Live for kids and their parents to get a firsthand look at these majestic seabirds, as well as the conservation work being done to save them.
During the broadcast, a penguin trainer will provide insight into the care, behavior, and conservation of African penguins, and viewers will also have the opportunity to see real African penguins firsthand as well as ask the trainer questions in real time.
To take advantage of the live broadcast, tune into the Stonyfield Facebook page at 12pm EST.

Stonyfield YoKids is sponsoring the AZA SAFE (Saving Animals from Extinction) program; together on a mission to help save endangered species.
As the country’s leading organic yogurt maker, Stonyfield has long been focused on conservation and sustainability.
Each year, Stonyfield keeps over 185,000 pounds of toxic pesticides out of the environment, helping to safeguard species and their ecosystems.
Stonyfield YoKids’ sponsorship of AZA SAFE will support conservation efforts for 10 endangered species, including the African Penguin.
The lovable African Penguin and most endangered AZA SAFE species will be featured prominently on Stonyfield YoKids packaging this year. Kids will be so excited to collect them all!
Stonyfield YoKids is also featuring an on-pack offer to get families out to visit any of the 131 participating AZA-accredited member zoos and aquariums in their own communities.
Now through the end of September, families who buy two specially-marked YoKids yogurt multipacks will receive a FREE kid’s admission to their local AZA-accredited zoo or aquarium when they also buy an adult ticket. (click here for a list)
Here in Arizona, our Phoenix Zoo and SeaLife Aquarium are participating locations. Lucky for me, the kids and I will be visiting the zoo!
Stonyfield hopes to inspire a lifelong appreciation of our planet and commitment to animal conservation in the next generation.
In addition, Stonyfield has created a series of videos that ask kids and their parents, “Can a cow save a penguin or a sea turtle or a cheetah?”
You can view the humorous, yet heartwarming answers that showcase the optimism and imagination of children, but also the need for real action to save endangered species on Stonyfield’s website.
Be sure to check back for the post on our visit to the Phoenix Zoo! I will be sharing how to make your trip to the zoo as easy and painless as possible!
