# Build a Penguin Food Web

Audience: Teachers  
Age range: 10-14

## Lesson Goal

Learners map how African penguins connect to sardines, anchovies, plankton, fisheries, climate, coastal communities, and marine predators.

## Activity

1. Put "African penguin" at the center of the page.
2. Add sardines and anchovies as prey.
3. Add plankton, ocean temperature, and currents as food-web drivers.
4. Add people: fishers, scientists, tourists, policymakers, rescue teams, and learners.
5. Ask: which human choices make the web stronger or weaker?

## Reflection

Recovery is not only about one species. It is about the decisions that keep a marine ecosystem resilient.
