For Adélie penguins, climate change and the resulting loss of sea ice threatens to deplete their main source of food – Antarctic krill.
We’re working with scientists to monitor the migration habits of penguins during the winter using miniature geolocating devices to track the birds' movements and identify key ‘biological hotspots’ in the Southern Ocean where they feed.
Together we’re trying to predict how the Adélies might adapt to climate change, and we’re strongly supporting an international proposal to create a network of marine protected areas to safeguard both their feeding ground off east Antarctica and their wintering ground further west.
