State of Antarctic Penguins (SOAP):
Antarctic Penguin Reports
Turning Data Into Global Insight
The State of Antarctic Penguins (SOAP) report is the world’s most comprehensive Antarctic penguin report, distilling decades of field research into a continent-wide assessment of penguin populations.
By combining long-term penguin conservation reports with the latest satellite, drone, and field survey data, SOAP reveals how penguin colonies are adapting or struggling in the face of climate change.
The SOAP report provides open-access science for conservationists, researchers, NGOs, and treaty organizations worldwide.
Why the SOAP Report Matters
Penguins are frontline indicators of environmental change. Shifts in breeding success, foraging patterns, and colony size help scientists measure: The effects of Penguins and climate change on Antarctic ecosystems.
How is Antarctic climate adaptation shaping species survival?
The broader lessons about penguin survival in Antarctica and the global impacts of warming oceans and habitat disruption.
How the SOAP Report Shapes International Conservation Policy
SOAP is presented at key international forums such as the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) and used by policymakers to guide sustainable fisheries, marine protected areas, and long-term wildlife protection strategies.
