Emperor penguins are on the
climate chopping
block. | | |
It's Official:
Emperor Penguins Are
Endangered. We Need Swift Action to
Save
Them! | | |
The US Fish and
Wildlife Service has added emperor penguins to the
endangered species list, given how dire the
situation is for the species -- the sea ice that they
depend on for nesting, hunting, and habitat is
disappearing due to climate change. Some
penguin colonies have declined by nearly 50% since the
1970s. Other colonies have suffered even worse
fates. In 2016, 10,000 chicks died in Halley Bay
because the sea ice broke up too early in the season --
the chicks tragically drowned as they were not old
enough to swim.
These tragic fates cannot be
allowed to continue. Luckily, there's an event happening
right now that could change the course of history for
emperor penguins -- the 27th United Nations Climate
Change Conference, or COP27. Every year, this Conference
of Parties takes place in a different city, all with the
same goal: to address climate catastrophe. But
COP meetings have famously failed to create binding
international agreements, which are desperately needed
to curb the most devastating impacts of climate change
and save animals like the emperor penguin. World leaders gathering for
COP27 in Egypt must prioritize saving the emperor
penguin before it is too late -- sign the petition now
if you
agree! | | |

P.S.
Emperor penguins are officially endangered. To keep them
from disappearing forever, tackling climate change is
our only hope. Sign the
petition. |
