Notice to penguins: Don’t Hold Your Breath….
And forget about movie sequels….
You see why: Emperor Penguin populations are down by 50%...
Some say it’s due to over-fishing.
Others say it has to do with global warming.
Whatever the reason, krill one of their favorite foods, has been depleted by as much as 80% in southern waters….
And nobody seems to have a solution.
Penguins get to join a rather unhappy club: The 1313 species now listed on the endangered species list—which includes two areas of coral decline.
But the sponsoring Agency, the federal Fish and Wildlife Service says there is not much it can do about it except to alert others and perhaps work together with other agencies around the world….
For the meantime, the Emperor’s will just have to try to slug it out in the hope and expectation that maybe we will wake up in time to save their habitat and their species.
