The Guardian - Green Renaissance

Thank you Justine & Michael 💚

Tribute “Birdie” Mboweni lives in solitude on Dassen Island in order to protect and study the largest colony of African Penguins in Africa. Her work is vital to the survival of this species which could be facing extinction within only 10 years and her story, is one of inspiration as she seeks to “plant the seed” of conservation in others.

The Guardian was produced by Green Renaissance in 2010 as part of the Caretakers series for STEPS and SANBI.

At such a young age such insight and wisdom apart from such a beautiful voice..she has dealt with her pain so maturely.hats off

[chiefonelung]

She is gorgeous. What an incredibly beautiful soul she is. I cannot understand why I saw four people had put a thumbs down to this video. It is sad. Something is bad wrong with those four people. Again, you guys have done another incredibly beautiful video thank you so much.
