In the Falkland Islands, working dogs are used for a variety of roles. For local farmers, dogs are of valuable assistance in managing large numbers of sheep over vast areas of land. Other working dogs are used to protect the local wildlife - particularly ground nesting birds - from invasive species. Dogs are also a crucial part of military and police operations within the Islands, such as patrols, tracking and drug detection.

Of the 6 penguin species that reside in the Antarctic only two can truly claim the continent as their homeland – emperors and Adélies. Unlike other penguins, emperor penguins are dependent on stable sea ice that is firmly attached to the shore (‘land-fast’ ice) for the majority of the year, from April through to January. Once they arrive at their chosen breeding site, penguins lay eggs in the Antarctic winter from May to June. Eggs hatch after 65 days, but chicks do not fledge until summer, between December and January. It is this dependence on sea ice that has left them so highly vulnerable in recent years.
