The Great Penguin Rescue
The African penguin is in peril... Michaela Strachan has set out to assist them. Michaela, the newest recruit to the SANCCOB chick augmentation team, will investigate why penguin numbers have plummeted so dramatically and what can be done to save them. Every year, SANCCOB (South African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds) organizes a dramatic rescue of hundreds of penguin chicks whose parents are unable to feed them due to adverse weather conditions. For a frantic six weeks, it's all hands on deck as up to 500 helpless chicks must be rescued, cared for, taught survival skills, and eventually released back into the wild.
