Why are African penguins going extinct?
If you’ve visited the Two Oceans Aquarium before, you’re no stranger to the quirky and charismatic African penguin. The African penguin is one of South Africa’s most iconic species, a beacon of Cape Town tourism, and a very special part of its unique ecosystem. Unfortunately, the African penguin population is under huge threat of extinction.
Say goodbye to winter with these colourful Aquarium animals!
As we say goodbye to winter, let's take a look at some of the Aquarium's more colourful and vibrant animals - those which perfectly represent summer!
Ways you can help the African penguin
In just 100 years, African penguin numbers have dwindled from over 1.5 million to fewer than 10 000 pairs today. Their situation is dire, and while many incredible organisations work to ensure their survival, the African penguin still needs public support to ensure that it receives the needed policies and protections to avoid extinction. There is hope for the African penguin, but only if we jointly say "not on our watch" – the time for action is now. Fortunately, there are tonnes of ways you can help the African penguin!
What is the African penguin’s role in the ecosystem?
A few weeks ago was International African Penguin Awareness Day, when we waddled to raise awareness for the plight of the African penguin. The African penguin is in grave danger of extinction by 2035 if we don’t act now. Let’s look at the African penguin’s crucial role in the ecosystem.
Posters for the penguin-supporters!
Are you excited to Waddle for the African penguin on Saturday 11 October? We are, too!
Check out these awesome A2/A3 posters that you can print at home to bring to the waddle!
