    International Union for Conservation of Nature a network of about 17,000 #scientists and experts from over 160 countries maintains #IUCN Red List, tally of how threatened different species are in wild. “Endangered” status means the birds face “a very high risk of extinction in the wild.”

  6. Heartbreaking: Thousands of fluffy emperor penguin chicks have drowned as Antarctic sea ice shatters beneath them — too early for the babies to swim or stay warm.
    The IUCN has now officially listed emperor penguins as Endangered. Record-low sea ice, driven by global heating, is collapsing their breeding grounds. Entire colonies are falling into the ocean. Chicks that don't drown often freeze to death, soaked and helpless.
    This isn't some distant future scenario. It's happening now — in 2022 alone, four out of five colonies in the Bellingshausen Sea were wiped out. Scientists are calling them a "sentinel species": what we're doing to the planet is playing out in real time on the ice.
    The emperor penguin’s move to endangered is a stark warning: climate change is accelerating the extinction crisis before our eyes.

  7. Emperor Penguins Classified as Endangered Amidst Climate Change Concerns

    Emperor Penguins are now listed as Endangered by the IUCN because climate change is destroying their sea ice homes. This affects their breeding and survival.

  8. #EmperorPenguins are a sentinel species that tell us about our changing world & how well we are controlling #GreenhouseGas #emissions,” Philip Trathan, a member of the IUCN specialist group that determined the species’ #conservation status, said in a statement Thursday.

  9. #EmperorPenguins were already considered near threatened due to the loss of #coastal #SeaIce, which they rely on for raising chicks. Early ice breakup can lead to colonies falling into the ocean before chicks grow their waterproof feathers, causing the hatchlings to drown.
    
There are less than 600,000 adult emperor penguins left in the wild, & new projections suggest that the population could fall to half that by the 2080s, acc/to the International Union for the #Conservation of #Nature [#IUCN].

  17. Emperor penguins: thousands of chicks in Antarctica die due to record-low sea ice levels

    “Thousands of emperor penguin chicks across four colonies in Antarctica are believed to have died because of record-low sea ice levels that caused a ‘catastrophic breeding failure’ in late 2022, according to new research.”
