The African Penguin has been officially uplisted from Endangered to Critically Endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, highlighting the species’ severe risk of extinction. With a staggering 97% of its population already lost, the bird could vanish from the wild in fewer than 4,000 days unless urgent conservation efforts are made. https://www.drishticuet.com/current-affairs/the-african-penguin-is-teetering-on-the-edge-of-extinction
