    Can the African Penguin be Saved from Extinction?

    Can the African Penguin be Saved from Extinction?

    The African penguin is being starved to extinction. Commercial fishing has reduced fish stocks around the only remaining African Penguin colonies to such an extent that the birds cannot find enough fish to eat during their breeding season. Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds, SANCOB is taking the South African government to court to try and force them to expand no-take zones around the colonies as part of their campaign to save the species.
