Sussex Bird Club | Conservation of the African Penguins
Online
Join The Sussex Bird Club in-person in the library or online for a presentation by Steve Sarro from the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. Sarro will discuss African penguins, a species he has been involved for over 30 years. This species has been declining for the past 100+ years and is now considered a critically endangered species. If trends continue, the African penguin will be functionally extinct in 10 years. Steve will speak about its plight, the reasons for the decline, and our work to reverse the decline.
The Sussex Bird Club's primary objective is to promote the knowledge and enjoyment of wild birds through guided field trips and monthly meetings about various aspects of birding. Meetings are open to all and beginning birders are always welcome.
