The African penguin is in trouble. Its population has plummeted by more than 97 percent in less than a century. Fewer than 25,000 breeding pairs are estimated to remain on Earth, and experts say the endangered bird could be extinct in just 10 years.⠀
⠀
But the penguins’ demise is not inevitable, says the Association of Zoos & Aquariums, an organization that has undertaken efforts to pull the species back from the brink. The penguin, under threat from climate change, overfishing and other human actions, just needs a helping hand.⠀
⠀
Thanks to the generosity of thousands on the crowdfunding platform #Kickstarter this month, it seems many of the warm weather penguins, found mostly in South Africa and Namibia, are soon going to get just that ― in the form of thousands of penguin homes. ⠀
⠀
AZA launched a Kickstarter campaign in May to raise funds for their “Invest in the Nest” project, an initiative aimed at creating and installing artificial nests for African penguins in the wild. The campaign’s last day is Friday, but it’s already fully funded — with more than $188,000 donated thus far by more than 2,000 people.⠀
