The great white sharks
are being killed. Now there are too many seals and they are eating
the fish and so there is none left for the penguins. They have come
to the mainland where there is a better supply of food. People have
realised that they should be protected. In places like Betty's Bay
and Boulders they are being protected.
The South African
National foundation for the Conservation of Coastal birds, SANCCOB
cares for sick and oiled penguins. They are rehabilitated and returned
to the sea. Slowly the number of penguins is increasing.
