SANCCOB

SANCCOB works to reverse the decline of wild seabird populations through the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of ill, injured, abandoned, and oiled seabirds-especially endangered species such as the African Penguin. They are an internationally recognized leader in response to oiled wildlife, seabird rehabilitation, and chick-rearing. Each year, SANCCOB rescues and rehabilitates in excess of 2400 injured, sick, or oiled seabirds.

Additionally, SANCCOB conducts research into seabird behavior, diseases, and other factors endangering their long-term survival.

Every October, we celebrate African Penguin Awareness Day to support SANCCOB and raise awareness of African Penguin conservation efforts.
