A little rehab‑center glow‑up: SAPREC’s penguin pool has been fully relined thanks to KruShan supporters.
Safe water, strong swimmers, better chances for release.
Thank you for making this possible. 🐧💙
Cooperation, not competition. Today an African penguin named Schalk is back in the wild. 🌊
This is why empathy-led conservation matters. 🤍

African penguins learn each other's unique vocalizations so they can find one another even in a busy crowd.
🐧💝 Happy Valentine’s Day.
We're working to make sure the critically endangered African penguins' love stories continue.
The penguins tried to make you a heart in the sand. It… looks like a potato. But it’s a loving potato.

We had a nice crowd for our free showing of David Attenborough's Ocean documentary on Wednesday evening. Thank you to the Wimberley Village Library for the venue and the popcorn.

The donor match ends tonight; hope doesn’t. It’s the final day to get your gift matched at 50%, but your care for these chicks can continue long after the match ends. We’re so moved by the penguin love. We'll let you know how they're doing.

High impact giving. A 50% match through October 25. A favorable exchange rate. 32 abandoned African penguin chicks, each a future parent to at least 45 more African penguins. That's a lot of multipliers.
Fuel the future with one powerful gift. 💙

Wads didn’t want to share. He’s a penguin, not a podcast guest. He did it for the chicks. Grumpy. Low-key legendary. Reluctantly open. 🐧

#WaddlesworthWednesday #NotBy2035
Each chick can raise at least 45 African penguins over its lifetime. We're not just saving these chicks, we're securing the future of the species.
Help us feed, heal, and release these tiny legends.
Every dollar=penguin power.

This is what our partners do. They put African penguins first. This is what genuine collaboration and principled partnership look like: no ego, no turf wars, just deep respect, open communication, and a shared commitment to species survival. #NotBy2035 #birds #conservation #penguins
When you donate, we'll let you know exactly how your donation, plus the 50% match, will support these furry babies and the number of lives you're changing. We'll also let you know when these chicks are reunited with their families.

Emergency chick rescue. 32 African penguins. Launching tomorrow. The timing’s rough. If you’re tempted to say “Go Fund Yourselves,” we get it. But if you can give, we’ve got a 50% match ready to increase your impact. No guilt. No pressure. Just penguins, people, and a whole lot of 💙.

It’s International African Penguin Awareness Day.
They’re not just cute. They’re climate indicators. Ocean storytellers. Canary-in-the-coal-mine types, but with flippers.
Their decline reflects broken systems that reach us all, whether you’re in Cape Town or Kansas.

Penguins follow fish, not funding hubs. That’s why we have partnered with SAPREC, a small seabird rescue center doing vital work far from the spotlight.
More coast. More penguins protected. More proof that small orgs can drive big change. 🧡 www.krushanfoundation.org/from-shore-t... #NotBy2035
A great loss, but what a life. Thank you, Jane. We honor your legacy of science, environmental conservation, and hope.
