From our cultures and landscapes to the wildlife found nowhere else on Earth, South Africa's natural heritage is worth protecting.

This Heritage Day, we're asking you to remember that some of South Africa's most treasured wildlife needs our help.

Today, while we celebrate our country's heritage, spare a thought for a species that could face functional extinction in the wild by 2035 without urgent conservation action.

The good news? There is still time to change the story.

💙 Adopt a penguin. 💙 Donate to seabird conservation. 💙 Help us care for the birds already in our care.

🐧 Visit the link in our bio or head to sanccob.co.za to get involved.

On International Coastal Cleanup Day 2026, more than 150 volunteers got together on Robben Island to help protect African penguins and other seabirds and one of the key coastlines they call home. 🐧💙

Armed with bags, gloves and determination, teams spent three hours removing everything from discarded fishing gear and ropes to bottle caps, straws, tyres, road signs, shoes, plastic bags and even washing machine pipes, with the goal of collecting two tonnes of trash.

A huge thank you to everyone who showed up, got their hands dirty and proved that when people come together, small actions can make a big difference. 🌍✨

The truth is simple: seabirds cannot heal without food.

While we don’t yet know what the coming months will bring, we do know that we need to be prepared.

With African Penguin and Cape Cormorant breeding season approaching, and uncertainty surrounding the recent sardine die-off along Southern Africa’s coastline, we’ve had to secure about 17 tonnes of fish to help sustain the birds in our care in the months ahead.

Right now, SANCCOB is caring for a diverse range of seabirds, including a large Pelican that eats up to 15 fish per feed and a Shy Albatross that eats 5 squid per feed.

💙 Help us keep our patients fed by donating a fish box, adopting a seabird or making a donation via the link in our bio or at www.sanccob.co.za. 🐟

This Saturday, 19 September, people worldwide will roll up their sleeves to help keep our coastlines clean and safe. If you’d like to get involved, we’ve rounded up a few beach clean-ups you could join.

🌊 Heading to a clean-up? Tell us where you’ll be in the comments.
🌊 Hosting one? Share the details below so others can get involved too.

The SANCCOB team will be joining Coca-Cola Peninsula Beverages and the Robben Island Museum for a beach clean-up on Robben Island, one of the most important breeding sites for African Penguins and other seabirds. 🐧

💙 Next week, we will also be hosting another clean up at Milnerton Beach Lighthouse!

⚠️ Before attending any event, please verify the details with the organiser to ensure the clean-up is legitimate and that you have the correct meeting point and event.

The future of African Penguins is still being written.

We’ve seen remarkable recoveries before. Humpback whales. Northern elephant seals. Green sea turtles. Species once pushed to the brink that were given a second chance through dedicated conservation efforts.

African Penguins deserve that same chance.

The question isn’t whether recovery is possible. The question is whether we’ll act in time.

We can’t do this alone.

Join the movement to protect African Penguins before this future becomes reality, by adopting an egg or a penguin, donating to SANCCOB or becoming a volunteer. Learn more at sanccob.co.za.

08/09/2026

On 10 October, SANCCOB invites you to celebrate African Penguin Awareness Day.

Join us as we shine a spotlight on the incredible work being done to conserve African Penguins, and discover how collaboration is helping to prevent their functional extinction in the wild.

🐧 Save the date, share it with a friend, and join us at SANCCOB and Table Bay Nature Reserve.
