You will be shocked at the percentage of penguins lost since 1900

By

SANCCOB Port Elizabeth will be collaborating with Something Good Roadhouse Port Elizabeth to create a fun filled family event on Saturday, 7th of October 2017. We will celebrate this day with a 3km awareness waddle from SANCCOB PE to Something Good Roadhouse.

Since the turn of the 20th century, the world has lost 99% of the African Penguin Population. Of the remaining 1% of these penguins left, just over 50% of these endangered birds live on our coast’s doorstep on Bird Island in Port Elizabeth.

Dress up and make posters in support of our handsomely suited friends! Prizes will be up for grabs for the best dressed participant as well as the best poster. Activities at SANCCOB include a souvenir stall, face painting, penguin inspired yoga classes and fun edutainment activities.
