3 ways to help save the African penguin from extinction: 🏝️ Visit the penguin’s homes. The African penguin colonies in Boulders Beach and Betty’s Bay are super popular to visit with tourists and locals alike. Seeing these birds in their natural habitat will inspire you to take care of them! ✉️ Lobby to look after the African penguin. Contact the authorities to ensure they are doing their best to look after this species. You can email Barbara Creecy, Minister of Forestry, Fisheries, and the Environment via the @[African Penguins #NOOW](urn:li:organization:97922968) website. ♻️ Use environmentally friendly household cleaning products. Keep our waterways clean – all water ends up in the sea, so ensure that you only put products down your drain that are environmentally friendly.
