Tourists

• Ensure tour guides, bus drivers and other staff understand the plight of the penguin and are able to brief visitors about proper conduct in the colonies.   
   

• Be careful when driving – look out for penguins crossing the roads.
   

• When you get back into your car after parking – look under the car to make sure a penguin is not sheltering there.
   

• If you see anything of concern around penguin nesting sites, be sure to let the authorities know.
   

• If you see a dead or injured penguin report it.  
   

• Support the rangers operating in your area by heeding to the conservation signs and by reporting human behaviour which is threatening the birds.
   

• Respect the boundaries of the penguin nesting sites.
   

• Support local communities to create sustainable livelihoods that do not rely on fishing activities that impact the penguin populations.
   

• Support the effective management of Marine Protected Areas, especially those that protect penguin nest sites or feeding grounds. Support new protected areas where African penguins can breed and feed.
