KruShan Foundation is the only US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated solely to protecting critically endangered African penguins from extinction. #NotBy2035 THEORY OF CHANGE: Because human activity has reduced the African penguin population from millions of birds 100 years ago to a critically endangered species with under 11,000 breeding pairs left, we stay in near-constant contact with our partners in the field and make frequent trips to South Africa so that we know what they need in real-time to protect this iconic species from extinction. Our fundraising, education, and outreach efforts aim to bolster the African penguin population to prevent their projected extinction in the wild in 2035 so that future generations can enjoy these adorable, entertaining birds in a healthy marine ecosystem.
| Description | Grants | Expenses |
|---|---|---|
| African Penguin Protection Program: 2024 program highlights--we protected 15 African penguin chicks after winter storms by ensuring they were rescued, rehabilitated, and released back into the wild, paid the salary of a dedicated Seabird Ranger for the Dyer Island African penguin colony, and made a groundbreaking donation to support the African Penguin and Seabird Sanctuary's (APSS) medical capabilities. Recognizing the urgent need for better diagnostic tools, we funded the purchase of a portable X-ray machine and related equipment. The new facility, the African Penguin Protectors KruShan Foundation X-Ray Room, at the APSS will be the first of its kind in the Overstrand region, offering critical care for all animals in need of emergency diagnostics, especially seabirds and penguins. There's something magical about working together to save a species from extinction. We work with our partners in South Africa to protect the critically endangered African penguins by: * bolstering the chick population, rearing abandoned or lost chicks, and incubating eggs-a vital part of the African Penguin Biodiversity Management Plan; * paying the salary of African penguin rangers; * rehabilitating injured, ill, or oiled birds; * funding needed equipment purchases; * responding to emergencies or time-sensitive needs, and * equipping African penguin populations with artificial nests | $40,921 | $43 |
| STEM Education for underprivilged students. Our educational efforts include the following: * providing underprivileged students with STEM skills by supporting the three-year DEEP Blue Ambassador training program; * collaborating with partners to create educational materials for children, adolescents, and adults, and * working toward establishing a marine and seabird education center in Gansbaai, South Africa. We sponsored our first student in 2024 and plan to sponsor more in 2025. | $662 | $0 |
| We raise awareness in the Global North for our partners and feathered friends in the Global South through outreach efforts via: * fun and engaging presentations and interviews, both in-person and online; * event participation; * social media; * our newsletter and blog, and * advocacy for increased Marine Protection Areas to protect the ecosystem that African penguins need to thrive. In 2024 we appeared on one podcast, one local newspaper article, one online magazine article, and gave our first African penguins presentation to a group (Wimberley Birding Society). | $0 | $0 |
