This program focuses on conserving this endangered species in their natural habitat, mainly found off the coasts of South Africa and Namibia.

In 2010, the International Union for Conservation of Nature officially recognized the African penguin (Spheniscus demersus) as an endangered species. This alarming classification emphasizes the urgent need for conservation efforts to prevent their extinction in the wild.
