There are enough wild #AfricanPenguins left in the world to fill 1/3 of Cape Town Stadium. In 1900, there used to be enough penguins to fill every stadium seat in South Africa. We can end the decline and prevent their extinction! aquarium.co.za/blog/entry/no… #NotOnOurWatch

Penguin people have been saying #NotOnOurWatch for years. They have designed new nests, are trying to establish new colonies, they rescue, rehab & release. They will not give up, please @environmentza @BarbaraCreecy_ the #AfricanPenguin needs food @2OceansAquarium @CapeNature1
#AfricanPenguin awareness campaign 2022, if we want to say #NotOnMyWatch we need to act now. African penguins have been sounding the alarm for years, now their braying voices are going silent. @BarbaraCreecy_ @environmentza @CapeNature1 @2OceansAquarium Photo: Eduard Drost

The department has, from 1 September, declared some areas around the major penguin colonies as closed to commercial fishing for anchovy and sardine.
