The Antarctic Wildlife Research Fund (AWR) is a non-governmental organization that funds research into the ecology of Antarctica. It was founded in 2015 by a coalition that included the King of Norway and krill fishing company Aker BioMarine, with the intention of researching krill conservation.[1]
The organization has funded research into topics including Humpback whale migration patterns[2] and penguin feeding behaviors.[3]
