Join us as we head to SANCCOB, a South African Penguin and Seabird rehabilitation centre in South Africa! We'll join educator Nonjabulo Sosibo and meet some of the hundreds of South African penguins chicks they've been rearing. We'll also see the newly completed facility and learn about the ecology and conservation of these amazing penguins!
SANCCOB provides a 24/7 rescue service for sick and injured seabirds and abandoned seabird chicks. They respond to oil spill disasters along the South African coastline. SANCCOB is recognised internationally as a leader in the field of seabird rehabilitation, they treat an average of 2,500 injured, sick and oiled seabirds annually. Their specialist chick rearing unit saves African penguin eggs and chicks that have been abandoned, for subsequent release back into the wild.
