In South Africa, a new agreement aims to save the African Penguin, the only penguin species on the continent, from extinction. This plan involves the government, conservation groups, and the fishing industry working together to stop overfishing near the penguins’ breeding areas, giving them a better chance to find food. With their population down by 97%, these charming birds now have fewer than 11,000 breeding pairs left. Local communities are also getting involved, helping to protect these beloved creatures while supporting tourism. Together, everyone hopes to see the African Penguin thrive once more in its natural home.
