520    On June 23, 2000, the iron-ore carrier MV Treasure, en 
       route from Brazil to China, foundered off the coast of 
       Cape Town, South Africa, spilling 1,300 tons of oil into 
       the ocean and contaminating the habitat of 75,000 
       penguins. Realizing that 41 percent of the world's 
       population of African penguins could perish, local 
       conservation officials immediately launched a massive 
       rescue operation, and 12,500 volunteers from around the 
       globe rushed to South Africa in hopes of saving the 
       imperiled birds. Serving as a rehabilitation manager 
       during the initial phase of the three-month rescue effort,
       Dyan deNapoli-better known as "the Penguin Lady" for her 
       extensive work with penguins-and fellow volunteers de-
       oiled, nursed back to health, and released into the wild 
       nearly all of the affected birds. Now, at the tenth 
       anniversary of the disaster, deNapoli recounts this 
       extraordinary true story of the world's largest and most 
       successful wildlife rescue. When she first entered the 
       enormous warehouse housing most of the 19,000 oiled 
       penguins, the birds' total silence told deNapoli all she 
       needed to know about the extent of their trauma. African 
       penguins are very vocal by nature, prone to extended fits 
       of raucous, competitive braying during territorial 
       displays and pair-bonding rituals, but these poor 
       creatures now stood silently, shoulder to shoulder, in a 
       state of shock. DeNapoli vividly details the harrowing 
       rescue process and the heartbreaking scenarios she came up
       against alongside thousands of volunteers: unforgettable 
       images of them laboriously scrubbing the oil from every 
       penguin feather and force-feeding each individually; the 
       excruciatingly painful penguin bites every volunteer 
       received; and the wrenching decisions about birds too ill 
       to survive. She draws listeners headfirst into the 
       exhausting physical and emotional experience and brings to
       life the cast of remarkable characters-from Big Mike, a 
       compassionate Jiu-Jitsu champion with a booming voice, who
       worked every day of the rescue effort; to a man named 
       Welcome, a.k.a. "the Penguin Whisperer," who had the 
       amazing ability to calm any penguin he held in his arms; 
       to Louis, a seventeen-year-old medical student who created
       a new formula for the highly effective degreaser used by 
       the rescue mission-whose historic and heroic efforts saved
       the birds from near extinction. The extraordinary 
       international collaboration of scientists, zookeepers, 
       animal rescue groups, and thousands of concerned 
       individuals helped save the African penguins-recently 
       declared an endangered species-from an all-too-common man-
       made disaster. DeNapoli's heartwarming and riveting story 
       is not just a portrait of these captivating birds, nor is 
       it merely a cautionary tale about the environment. It is 
       also an inspirational chronicle of how following one's 
       passion can lead to unexpected, rewarding adventures-and 
       it illustrates not only how people from around the world 
       can unite for a greater purpose but how they can be 
       extraordinarily successful when doing so. The Great 
       Penguin Rescue will inspire listeners to believe they can 
       make a difference.
