SANCCOB will visit St Francis on Saturday, 25 July, to present two public sessions on seabird conservation, including a children’s Eco-Kids programme and an adult presentation hosted by the Kromme Enviro-Trust.

Eco-Kids Learn About Penguin Conservation

The Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB) will present two educational sessions at the Heritage Centre, Harbour Road, St Francis, on Saturday, 25 July.

The first session, Eco-Kids: Saving Penguins, runs from 9.00am to 10.30am and has been developed specifically for children.

The programme introduces young participants to penguin conservation and seabird conservation through interactive educational activities. Children will learn about South Africa’s coastal birds, their habitats and the conservation work being undertaken to protect vulnerable species.

SANCCOB Adult Presentation

The second session, Saving Seabirds: SANCCOB’s Role, takes place from 11.30am to 12.30pm and is open to the public.

The presentation will explain the challenges facing seabirds, including the African penguin, and outline SANCCOB’s work in marine bird rescue, rehabilitation, research and conservation.

Representatives from SANCCOB will travel from Gqeberha to present both sessions, giving local residents the opportunity to hear directly from one of South Africa’s leading marine bird conservation organisations.

Community Invited To Attend

The presentations are being hosted by the Kromme Enviro-Trust, which is encouraging residents to attend the adult session and support this conservation initiative.

Community participation will help raise awareness of the threats facing seabirds and the work being carried out to protect South Africa’s marine bird populations.

Both presentations will be held at the Heritage Centre, Harbour Road, St Francis.

For more information or to RSVP, contact Truus Hedding, Secretary of the Kromme Enviro-Trust, on 082 925 7231.
