Robben Island’s Fragile Dawn: Rescuing the Cape Cormorant from Extinction

by

Robben Island, a place of somber history, now cradles a desperate hope: saving the Cape Cormorant.

It’s a heroic, costly fight against climate change, where every saved chick is a tiny victory against a silent, looming crisis.
