African penguins are now listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species with scientists warning that they could disappear from the wild by 2035. In response, CapeNature and SANCCOB are joining forces to raise awareness and drive conservation action at the annual Penguin Palooza event at Stony Point Nature Reserve.
The free public event will take place on November 8 from 10h00, highlighting the crisis facing one of South Africas most iconic seabirds.
Visitors can explore an outdoor market showcasing local food, crafts and community stalls alongside educational exhibits and childrens activities. The days highlight will be the release of rehabilitated penguins back into the wild, offering the public a chance to witness conservation in action.
