An ode to our endangered African Penguins • Thank you, SANCCOB for trusting me to paint your beautiful new visitors with a mural showcasing the beauty of this species.Your tireless efforts to save these and other seabirds are truly appreciated.
"The African Penguin faces extinction in the wild by 2035 if more is not done to curb the current rate of population decline. The crisis is driven primarily by their lack of access to prey, for which they must compete with the commercial purse-seine fishery which continues to catch sardine and anchovy in the waters surrounding the six largest African Penguin breeding colonies. Critically, these six colonies are home to an estimated 90% of South Africa’s African Penguins.” - SANCCOB.
