Description: 这是一次个人经历，亦是一个团体取得的胜利：黛安•德娜珀丽给我们带来一个世界上最大规模的志愿者拯救动物的故事，这次行动挽救了四万多只被南非海岸泄漏的石油累及生命的企鹅。而这样浩大的工程志愿者们是如何完成的呢？那只有一只、一只、一只企鹅地拯救……

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.)

黛安•德娜珀丽(Dyan deNapoli)：企鹅大救援

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.
