SANCCOB officially launched the construction of a new Chick Rearing Unit in Table View on Thursday.
This milestone was celebrated by Natalie Maskell, SANNCOB CEO and Nicky Stander, Head of Conservation and the construction team.
Since 2006, as part of a gazetted conservation initiative under the African Penguin Biodiversity Management Plan, this programme has been hand-rearing abandoned penguin eggs and chicks, giving these endangered seabirds a fighting chance.
