Nurturing African Penguins: A Conservation Call from SANCCOB

by

SANCCOB is a critical conservation organization in Cape Town that runs the Chick Rearing Unit (CRU) to protect African penguin eggs and chicks. Due to the decline of the African penguin population, the CRU is feeling pressure and urgently needs renovations and expansion to care for more atrisk animals. The new building will allow SANCCOB to accommodate double the number of abandoned and rescued African penguin eggs and chicks and potentially increase release rates. The organization’s efforts are critical to the survival of the threatened African penguin species, which could face extinction by 2035 if the trend continues unchecked.
