Krushan Foundation

Krushan Foundation is the only US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated solely to protecting critically endangered African penguins from extinction. #NotBy2035 theory of change: Because human activity has reduced the African penguin population from millions of birds 100 years ago to a critically endangered species with under 11,000 breeding pairs left, we stay in near-constant contact with our partners in the field and make frequent trips to South Africa so that we know what they need in real-time to protect this iconic species from extinction. Our fundraising, education, and outreach efforts aim to bolster the African penguin population to prevent their projected extinction in the wild in 2035 so that future generations can enjoy these adorable, entertaining birds in a healthy marine ecosystem.
