🐧 Against all odds, emperor #penguin chicks in #Antarctica have survived a massive iceberg that blocked their access to the sea! Satellite images show life in the colony, but shifting ice conditions mean new challenges lie ahead. 🌍💔 https://t.co/C6BkN41JOl

Problem: The Antarctic Peninsula is facing serious threats due to climate change, pollution, and concentrated fishing.

Solution: Implementing a combination of conservation strategies, such as a marine protected areas and updated fisheries management. https://t.co/4Kr3NpkLBZ

The largest chinstrap penguin colony on Earth is in South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands—and the area recently expanded full marine protections to nearly twice the size of the UK.

Now that's something to celebrate! 🐧🎉 #WorldPenguinDay https://t.co/a6TVOl3sC6

Happy #PenguinAwarenessDay! 🐧 Can you identify all the penguins here?

Celebrate all things #penguins today. Penguins are a sentinel species, meaning they indicate the health of their ecosystem, providing humans with a warning, and a chance, to make a change.

Penguins on a volcano 🐧 🌋

Yes, you read that right! Zavodovski Island has the world's largest colony of chinstrap penguins.

Pros: unique biodiversity!
Cons: VERY hard to get to. And it's a volcano.
Result: there's no conservation data.

UNTIL NOW... 🧵

Happy #PenguinAwarenessDay! 🐧

Of all 17 species that live on our planet, 8 species live in #Antarctica, its nearby islands, and the sub-Antarctic archipelagos of South Georgia and the Falklands. Can you name them? ✔️ https://t.co/AydUt3tfSs #ProtectAntarctica
