The International Union for Conservation of Nature has moved Emperor penguins to the endangered species list due to the loss of sea ice in the Antarctic. Projections indicate the Emperor penguin population could be halved by the 2080s due to climate change and sea ice loss.
Emperor penguins are now endangered. The International Union for Conservation of Nature made this decision due to the loss of sea ice in the Antarctic. Since 2016, sea ice levels have dramatically declined, causing thousands of chicks to freeze or drown. The Emperor penguin population could be halved by the 2080s. Satellite images show a 10% loss of the population between 2009 and 2018. The Antarctic fur seal has also been affected, with a 50% reduction in population over the past 25 years.
