@DeanMacpherson Thank you! The endangered African penguins contribute between R1.9-R4.5 billion annually to our socio-economic landscape. They face extinction by 2035 if we don't act now. With less than 8300 breeding pairs left in the wild in SA, we need all the support!

Our Chick Rearing Unit (CRU) is bursting at the seams, as we take in over 500 chicks & 400 eggs every year. To increase our capacity to rescue even more penguin chicks & eggs, we need your help. No donation is too small: #SANCCOB #AfricanPenguins
