South Africa
Since its founding in 1968, the Southern African Foundation for the
Conservation of Coastal Birds is estimated to have helped rehabilitate more
than 85,000 seabirds in the Western Cape. The centre in Bloubergrandt just
north of Cape Town relies on volunteers to help the thousands of sick and
injured birds that arrive every year. Hands on experience is guaranteed if
you want to join in, but beware: for all their comedy waddling, penguins
stink. Seriously, they do.
