I neglected to say the name of the 17-year-old student who invented the degreaser used on the penguins. It was Louis Kock.


I unfortunately omitted a very important statement here. After saying, "Well, you should care because they're an indicator species," I meant to add, "and 15 of the 18 penguin species on Earth are currently listed as threatened or endangered."

I meant to say "oceanographer" before Sylvia Earle's name. (There may have been some confusion here, due to the fact that the German biologist's first name is also Sylvia.)

개인적인 이야기, 대중의 승리: 다이안 디 나폴리는 남아프리카공화국의 해안에 발생했던 기름 유출 사고 이후 4만마리 이상의 펭귄을 구조한 세계 최대 규모의 자원봉사자들에 의한 동물 구조작업에 대해 이야기합니다.  그들은 그렇게 엄청난 수의 펭귄을 어떻게 한마리 한마리씩 구조했을까요?

다이안 디 나폴리: 위대한 펭귄 구조작업

When a massive oil spill threatened nearly half the world’s African penguins, a global volunteer effort rescued over 90 percent of the birds. More than 12,500 volunteers flooded to Cape Town, cleaning and hand-feeding penguins one by one. Innovations like improved transport boxes and a teenager’s homemade degreaser played critical roles. The rescue proved that collective action and practical solutions can overcome even the bleakest odds for endangered species.
