Wumindjika (Welcome) from Phillip Island Nature Parks

We are extremely proud to share our island home with you and showcase its natural beauty, special wildlife and our little penguins, as we host the 12th International Penguin Conference. We pay our respects to Phillip Island’s Traditional Owners, the Bunurong, and are committed to our shared journey of understanding and caring for Sea Country together.

At Phillip Island Nature Parks, we take our responsibility to protect little penguins seriously. Managing important habitats and developing innovative scientific approaches are just a few of the ways we work to enhance Victoria’s biodiversity. These efforts are only possible through the valued relationships we share with our partners, collaborators and supporters.

This conference offers a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge, spark new ideas, and inspire meaningful action for penguin conservation and the broader ecosystems they represent. I encourage you to lend your support to this important event, which serves as an invaluable forum for knowledge-sharing and driving real progress in penguin research and conservation efforts.
