If you are unable to make the SANCCOB Annual Benefit Auction this year, there are other ways you can help!

Adopt a penguin

Help save this highly endangered species by ‘adopting’ a wild African penguin or penguin egg that will be rehabilitated and released back into the wild by our dedicated staff … or one of our ‘home pen’ birds that live permanently at our Table View and Port Elizabeth seabird centres, because for various reasons, they cannot be released back into the wild.
