Every year there are fewer African penguins and soon there may be none at all.
Conservationists primarily blame the fishing industry for the decline in numbers, as penguins depend on the sardines and anchovies they catch and sell.
But fishermen say they are “a fraction of the problem”, as there are there factors like climate change and vulnerability to natural predators involved.
While the South African government have previously tried to restrict fishing activities, it is estimated that there are now only 8,750 penguin breeding pairs left in the country.
This has led conservation groups to take legal action against the government in the first case of its kind in South Africa.

Are you sure these penguins aren’t human of the human race. Check if they have a belly button and if so they liv. Period. Time to stop talking in animal code about humanities. Love JL Godbless

Why does the Chinese government monopolize media and close comments? Because it makes it easier for the Chinese government to falsify traffic, falsify big data, and engage in information corruption! Maliciously excluding competitors! Vicious competition!
@asha8443
Please save them!!
@julianaylor4351
These penguins need a proper reserve to live on, with protected a fishery. Stop arguing, just do it, before its too late. 🐧❤️😢

Penguins are important but it seems the main stream media do not want to report of the withdrawal of the Astra Zeneca “ thing “ because of the harm it has caused . What a disgrace !
@thedel775
Left up to man…Oh Well, was nice having them around! Mankind cannot even Save itself! Disastrous!
@Nedankinde93
As a Cape Town resident, it's clear that expanding the conservation zone is essential for preserving our natural environment. Interestingly, tourism in Cape Town offers more employment opportunities than fishing. By prioritizing nature conservation over fishing quotas, we not only protect the African penguins but also support the local economy through a thriving tourism sector.
@Gareths-Travels
It doesn`t matter what you say to the African government , most of the overfishing in those waters are done by the Chinese and they don`t listen to anybody
