Scientists: 60% Penguin or disappear by the end of the century-the Penguin, Antarctica-IT information

Russian media, citing journal articles in the science report said ecologists point out that because Antarctic ice melting, breeding ground for the long-term rain, hot weather and other adverse consequences of climate change, about 60% of the penguins or disappear by the end of this century.

Russia satellite news network reported on June 30, scientists have used the South Pole Station, satellite and Penguin rookeries of marine expedition collected data, set up the "Kingdom of penguins" mode. Results show that penguin populations and their habitat area will not increase, instead will reduce significantly. It is estimated that by the end of this century, most Penguin rookeries are not suitable for their survival, the population will be reduced by more than half.

Reports that currently the Antarctic Peninsula area and most often extreme weather conditions in other warm regions of the Antarctic penguin populations have been reduced by 80%.

This death with which climate factors? Ecologist says population plunged by the most for two factors: the breeding season the abnormal high temperature weather and sea level. As far as how to affect the Penguin's life, scientists have not known, but research clearly.

科学家：约60%企鹅或在本世纪末消失 - 企鹅,南极 - IT资讯

俄媒援引《科学报告》期刊文章称，生态学家指出，由于南极冰块消融、繁殖地长期下雨、天气炎热等气候变化引起的不良后果，大约60%的企鹅或在本世纪末消失。

据俄罗斯卫星新闻网6月30日报道，科学家利用南极科考站、卫星和海上探险队收集到的企鹅聚居地观测数据，建立了“企鹅王国”模式。结果发现，企鹅数量及其栖息地面积不会增加，相反会显著减少。据估算，到本世纪末，大部分企鹅聚居地将不适于它们生存，企鹅数量将因此减少一半还多。

报道称，目前南极半岛一些地区和最常出现极端天气的南极其他温暖地区的企鹅数量已经减少了80%。

这种消亡与哪些气候因素有关？生态学家表示，对企鹅数量骤减影响最大的有两个因素：繁殖季的异常天气和海平面的高温。至于具体如何影响企鹅的生活，科学家暂不知晓，但计划研究清楚。
