That doesn't happen very often that you jump so many categories at once.
The
Antarctic first seal moves from least concern in the last assessment to endangered in this one.
>> The sea ice in the Antarctic being affected by the climate change.
That's what's affecting the emperor penguin colonies to move the penguins from nearthreatened to endangered.
>> It isn't a surprise anymore that climate change is having a huge impact on ice dependent species in particular in the north.
for the Antarctic furs seal.
It has declined approximately 57% of the adult population in the last three generations.
So you got krill that is going deeper because they want cold water.
And as surface waters warm, the krill go down and offshore and it makes it much more difficult for mum fur seals to get enough food while they're lactating and have to come back to shore to feed their offspring.
So it's one of those kind of one step away from the direct warming, but still a direct result of the warming.
The emperor penguin breeds during the Antarctic winter.
No other warm-blooded animal actually does that.
They are the emblematic species of the Antarctic.
The sea ice is being affected by the climate change.
That's what's affecting the emprop penguin colonies.
I think ultimately the the one thing that we need is for governments to decarbonize our economies so that we move toward renewable energy sources.
And in the meantime, while governments do that,
then we need climate smart protection.
So areas where penguins breed, then we need to think about how do we protect those in a way that is meaningful.
Then
we want to make sure that the Antarctic ecosystem continues into the future.
