Um estudo indica que Macquarie Island, entre Austrália e Antártica, enfrenta mudanças climáticas significativas, com um aumento nas chuvas. Essa alteração pode afetar o ecossistema local e o clima do Oceano Austral, crucial para a regulação climática global.

How many penguins are enough penguins?
Royal Penguin on the beach at Macquarie Island. Amazing little creatures, each and every one of them full of personality and bravado.

Wrapping up my editing for the Macquarie Island trip. Was taking roughly 7,000 frames a day with the burst mode on. That's a lot of files to delete.
Also, penguins can fly!

Watching the penguin pairs coming ashore is really something else. Moments of tenderness that are so expressive.

Fifteen years ago I got a chance to sail down to Macquarie Island, the last stop before you reach the Antarctic Confluence and the ice of East Antarctica.
Last week I got a chance to go back, and the Royal Penguins did not dissapoint. They are amazing little critters, full of personality and curiosity.

Macquarie Island’s astounding recovery, ten years on from rats, mice and rabbits
https://www.antarctica.gov.au/news/2024/macquarie-islands-astounding-recovery-ten-years-on-from-rats-mice-and-rabbits/
"Fifteen years ago, sub-#Antarctic #MacquarieIsland was so badly ravaged by #rabbits, #rats and #mice that its #wildlife populations were fighting for survival... #Dogs and their handlers scoured the island twice over, covering more than 90,000 km until in 2014, the island was declared #pest free... the recovery is absolutely extraordinary"

Ridding #MacquarieIsland of pests pays off as #seabirds come back from the brink – but recovery has just begun

"Sealers and whalers introduced cats, rats, rabbits and other #animals to the island in the 19th century... From 2011-14, the last non-native #pests were cleared from the island... Species of #petrels listed as threatened have recovered to the point where they can be delisted. There’s still a long way to go before their populations return to historical levels."
In a Major #Conservation Move, #Australia Triples Size of #MacquarieIsland Marine Park https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/articles/2023/11/06/in-a-major-conservation-move-australia-triples-size-of-macquarie-island-marine-park
"Expansion around World Heritage Site protects rich #biodiversity and builds #climate resilience... Australia massively expanded the marine park around #Macquarie Island, providing the highest-level protection for #subantarctic sea life across an area bigger than Germany and making the #MacquarieIslandMarinePark one of the largest fully protected #ocean sanctuary zones in the world."
Yes, please.
