Adopt a Christmas penguin
In the spirit of the festive season and demonstrating to their passion for the marine life and the environment, @ Communications Green Public Relations has adopted a wild penguin in support of SANCCOB’s ‘Adopt a Christmas Chick’ campaign.
The adorable penguin chick, which the @ Communications Green Public Relations team has aptly named ‘Joey’ (Johannesburg), is currently being hand-reared at SANCCOB, one of the busiest seabird hospitals in the world, thanks to the generosity and caring of the @ Communications Green Public Relations team.
This year SANCCOB is again playing Father Christmas to a group of African penguin chicks abandoned by their moulting parents in the colonies where they breed. For just R500, you too can adopt one of these penguin chicks at SANCCOB and cover the cost of hand-rearing your penguin before he or she is released back into the wild to join the penguin ‘family’.
The African penguin listed as endangered on the IUCN Red Data List, so saving the life of every single wild African penguin is crucial to the survival of this precious species.
Why not do something different this year? Put adopting one of these gorgeous, fluffy penguins at the top of your 2011 Christmas wish list! Instead of the staid bottle of wine and a nut hamper, why not delight a client with saving a penguin on their behalf this year, providing them a unique opportunity to play a role in saving a species?
SANCCOB will send your client the adoption papers and a photograph of the penguin you adopted, so they can share their contribution to saving the wild African penguin with their staff and clients. Adopting a penguin is a great and noble cause, and a wonderful and unforgettable Christmas gift that will last well beyond the year-end festivities.
