Emperor penguins, the largest penguin species on Earth, are now officially endangered according to the IUCN, and Climate change is allegedly the driving force behind their decline. Antarctic fur seals share this designation, while southern elephant seals are now considered vulnerable. These birds depend entirely on sea ice for breeding, living, and hunting fish, yet that ice is vanishing at record speed. Between 2009 and 2018, emperor penguin populations reportedly dropped by roughly 10% overall, with some colonies losing as much as 32%. Scientists warn that quasi-extinction looms for many colonies.

Major industrialized nations must commit to net zero emissions and protect penguin habitat from tourism and industrial interference. You can push world governments to act by signing this urgent call to action at Sign the petition now before these remarkable birds disappear forever. Real policy change starts when enough people demand it, so please add your name at Sign the petition now today.
