Every year there are fewer African penguins and soon there may be none at all.
Conservationists primarily blame the fishing industryfor the decline in numbers, as penguins depend on thesardines and anchovies they catch and sell.
But fishermen say they are "a fraction of the problem",as there are there factors like climate change andvulnerability to natural predators involved.
While the South African government have previouslytried to restrict fishing activities, it is estimated thatthere are now only 8,750 penguin breeding pairs left in the country.
This has led conservation groups to take legal actionagainst the government in the first case of its kind in South Africa.
