Le pingouin d'Afrique a été déclaré en danger critique d'extinction et pourrait disparaître à l'état sauvage d'ici 2035 si la pêche commerciale dans ses zones de reproduction n'est pas limitée.

The African penguin has been declared critically endangered and could become extinct in the wild by 2035 unless commercial fishing in its breeding areas is limited.
Oil spills from a project that’s designed to harness the economic potential of South Africa’s oceans are threatening the world’s largest remaining African Penguin colony.
Young African penguins are following the usual cues to feeding grounds only to find that the sources of food in these places is no longer available. This is devastating for their numbers.
