In unserem letzten #Blog gaben wir dem #Vulkankaninchen eine Bühne.
Auf der #IUCN Red List als gefährdet eingestuft, hoppelt es über Stock und Stein der Vulkanlandschaften von Iztaccíhuatl und Popocatépetl nahe Mexico-City. Wenn es nicht gerade mit Quietschen beschäftigt ist …
Kathleen Gransalke hat für euch eine Menge interessanter Fakten zu #Entdeckung, #Aussehen, #Ernährung und #Lebensraum zusammengestellt: https://www.laborjournal.de/blog/

🐧❄️ The International Union for #Conservation of #Nature has moved emperor #penguins to the "Endangered" category on its Red List. Researchers state that disappearing Antarctic sea ice is the primary factor driving the expected decline of these #birds.

It would seem that #chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) are not only genetically similar to us #humans, but behaviourally similar to us, as well, @DoomsdaysCW. Fascinating, if somewhat disturbing, stuff. (For #IUCN status, see: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/15933/129038584.)

#EmperorPenguins are marching toward #extinction. #Antarctica #furseals too
The species are now “#Endangered,” pushed to the brink by #climatechange in Antarctica
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.”

2 iconic species now listed as ‘endangered’ due to climate change https://www.byteseu.com/1928808/ #animal #Antarctic #AntarcticFurSeal #Climate #ClimateChange #EmperorPenguin #endangered #EndangeredSpeciesAct #environment #Food #GlobalWarming #InternationalUnionForTheConservationOfNature #IUCN #krill #polar #RedList #SeaIce #sknd #species #Warming

Grethel Aguilar, the #IUCN director general, called the declines of both species “a wake-up call on the realities of #ClimateChange.”

Though most humans will never see #Antarctica, the frozen continent’s #environment & #ecosystems are vital to the entire planet. Its #SeaIce reflects some of the sun’s energy back into space, keeping the #Earth cool. Its cold, dense, nutrient-rich waters drive the global #ocean circulation system & support some of the world’s most important fisheries.

#climate

A dramatic collapse of the #AntarcticFurSeal population likewise prompted the #IUCN to change the species’s status from “least concern” to “#endangered.” The organization said that rising #ocean temperatures have pushed the seals’ main prey — krill — to greater ocean depths, making it harder for the seals to find food.​

Between 1999 & 2025, the IUCN said, the number of Antarctic fur seals dropped by more than 50%

#GlobalWarming #wildlife #MarineLife #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #law

#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].

Artenschutz: Kaiserpinguine gelten jetzt als gefährdete Art

Der Kaiserpinguin ist von der Weltnaturschutzunion als gefährdete Art eingestuft worden. Vor allem die Küken leiden demnach massiv unter dem Klimawandel. Auch der Antarktische Seebär ist nun auf der "roten Liste".

Die #USA unter #Trump sind unter anderem gerade aus folgenden Institutionen ausgetreten:

#IPCC Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (Friedensnobelpreisträger 2007)
#IRENA International Renewable Energy Agency
#IUCN International Union for Conservation of Nature
#UNFCCC UN Framework Convention on Climate Change

Dazu kommen unzählige weitere Organisationen für Frieden, Entwicklung und Natur. Es braucht eine internationale Gegenwelt zu Trump und #Putin - vor allem mit Brasilien, China und Indien.
