Importance of the African Penguin
Christian Aspect
God made all the animals on this earth and He put us here to take care of them. If we aren't taking care of God's wonderful creation than we aren't doing what God planned for us to do on His earth. Genesis 1:28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground." It says right in the Bible that God told us to rule over all the animals in this world. That's why we need to save the African Penguin; because our God told us to.
Scientific Perspective
If the African Penguin becomes extinct a couple of things could happen. One thing would be that sharks, Cape fur seals, or orcas by South Africa could start to die off because they would be competing for different food because ther can't eat the African Penguin. Also fish, squid, or shellfish could over populate because the African Penguin won't be there to keep them in check.
