Emperor penguins are threatened by shrinking sea ice in Antarctica, according to the British Antarctic Survey. The scientists observed the birds’ molting sites and found that when the ice breaks out from under the penguins when they are without their waterproof feathers, they can become hypothermic in the water. “This is totally new to us,” Peter Fretwell, lead author of the British Antarctic Survey, said on Feb. 24. “We could never see the emperor penguin molting sites before and it's only because the sea ice has contracted that we can, we can actually monitor them over this time period.”

You’ve heard about Antarctic sea ice lows - well, here’s the consequences. Over 9,000 emperor penguin chicks from colonies in the Bellingshausen Sea are thought to have died in November 2022. The sea ice they lived on broke up early, before they'd developed waterproof feathers.

The approach to bird flu that says we have to kill those that survive flies in the face of all that we know about viruses. We are destroying the ability for our bird population to adapt to these viruses, and worse still, we are only making the viruses more dangerous!

Watch this penguin pop out from under the ice and see his mortal enemy (thankfully too sluggish to make a move) only to waddle away in the opposite direction as quickly as he could

Scientists have added emperor penguins to the 'Red List' of species at risk of extinction, warning that global warming has plunged the population into steep decline. The International Union for Conservation of Nature said climate change was rapidly melting the ice in Antarctica where the penguins breed and find food. The Antarctic fur seal has also been put on the endangered list.

Ukrainian scientists from the Vernadsky Research Base in Antarctica just released incredible underwater footage — filmed by a penguin. Using a GPS tracker and a tiny camera safely attached to its back, they captured how these subantarctic penguins dive, hunt krill, release air from under their feathers for hydrodynamic gliding, and flap their wings underwater like birds in flight. The video is totally real, with no speed-up. It also shows how penguins preen mid-swim — a behavior vital for insulation and speed. This research, in partnership with Norway’s Polar Institute, helps validate GPS data and supports efforts to protect Antarctic marine ecosystems. 🐧🌊 📹 Ukraine's National Antarctic Scientific Center

Famous and absolutely majestic emperor 👑🐧 stopped by the Vernadsky base. Emperor penguins prefer the colder reaches of Antarctica, and the nearest colony is more than 300 km from our station. So every visit is a special event. “We were returning by boat after ocean work when our colleague Liza suddenly shouted: ‘A penguin, a penguin!’ At first we didn’t understand why she was so excited — we have thousands of gentoo penguins nesting here. And then we realized… :)” recalls biologist Vladyslav Khreshcheniuk. The young visitor (recognizable by the gray patches on its head) stayed only briefly, disappearing by the next morning. The last time an emperor penguin visited Galindez Island was in June 2024. Some amazing facts about emperor penguins: ▪️ Up to 120 cm tall and 50 kg in weight ▪️ Can dive to depths of around 500 m in search of food ▪️ The only penguins that breed during the Antarctic winter ▪️ Incubate their eggs on their feet instead of building pebble nests ▪️ Listed by the IUCN in 2026 as a threatened species, with melting sea ice posing a major risk to their future 🎥 Video: Yana Liesna

Dr. Deborah Birx, former White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator, warns that the U.S. may be on the brink of another pandemic as bird flu and seasonal flu raise serious concerns. Comparing the current situation to January 2020, Birx criticizes the CDC for repeating past mistakes and highlights the danger of H5N1 bird flu and human flu co-infections, which could lead to dangerous mutations. Her solution? Ramp up testing nationwide. Birx stresses the importance of diagnosing illnesses in children to protect vulnerable groups like grandparents and prevent a potential crisis.

Maharashtra’s Mission for Tiger Conservation and Environmental Sustainability Glad to be present at the event organised on the occasion of 'International Tiger Day 2026' in Nagpur today. For more than 30 years, tiger conservation has been one of our highest priorities. Tigers are found in only 13 countries and India is home to nearly 75% of the world's tiger population. Maharashtra has also done exceedingly well in tiger conservation and is home to 444 tigers across 6 tiger reserves today. This success is the result of continuous efforts by the government in protecting natural habitats, adopting scientific conservation practices and working closely with local communities. With our five-point conservation strategy and the collective efforts of all stakeholders, Maharashtra will continue to strengthen its conservation work and soon emerge as the leading state in tiger conservation. Congratulations to the Forest Department for its dedicated efforts. It is encouraging to see technology strengthening conservation, with AI-based early warning systems and camera monitoring helping reduce human-wildlife conflict, particularly in districts such as Nagpur. As the world faces climate change and growing environmental challenges, protecting our forests has never been more important. By protecting the tiger, we are preserving biodiversity and securing a healthier future for generations to come. Minister Ganesh Naik ji, MoS Dr. Pankaj Bhoyar, MoS Adv. Ashish Jaiswal, MLA Sumit Wankhede, Representatives from Bhutan, Cambodia, Bangladesh and other dignitaries were present.
