Mission: Penguin Survival | FULL DOCUMENTARY | The Great Penguin Rescue |
Michaela must learn quickly if she is going to graduate as a volunteer at the South African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB). She needs to master difficult skills including feeding both the powerful adult penguins and helpless chicks. Then there’s the seemingly never ending work of cleaning up after the messy birds. But it’s not all blood, sweat and penguin poo as she visits some of Cape Towns African penguin colonies to better understand the dramatic decline in penguin numbers in recent years. From a Penguin Festival and at Boulders Beach to the beautiful and rugged Dyer Island, Michaela gets a first-hand look into just why there are so few penguins left on the South African coastline. She even gets to enjoy the rare treat of releasing rehabilitated penguins back into the icy Atlantic Ocean.
The African penguin is fighting for survival and presenter Michaela Strachan is on a mission to help them.
After 10 years living in her adopted home of Cape Town, South Africa, the peninsula’s penguins have found a special place in Michaela’s heart, which is why she is taking action and joining one of Africa's biggest bird rescues. As the newest recruit to the SANCCOB chick bolstering team, Michaela will be finding out why the penguin numbers have crashed so dramatically and what can be done to save them.
