A New Home for African Penguins at De Hoop

A special collaboration between BirdLife South Africa, SANCCOB, and CapeNature is paving the way for a new beginning for African Penguins at De Hoop Nature Reserve. This exciting programme focuses on establishing a thriving new colony by releasing young African Penguins that were rescued as eggs or chicks and carefully rehabilitated by SANCCOB. The aim is to encourage these birds to settle and eventually breed in a safe, undisturbed environment, far from the pressures of human activity. So far this year, an incredible 88 penguins have been released at the site, offering hope for the future of this Critically Endangered species.
