This #WorldPenguinDay 🐧 learn about how we can protect a #penguin paradise. Heard and McDonald Islands (HIMI) is home to iconic penguin species. Macaroni, king, gentoo & eastern rockhopper penguins rely on #HIMI for their survival 🌎

The @ECHR_CEDH decision today on climate change sets a precedent that goes far beyond Swiss borders. It sends a strong signal to courts all over the world that governments cannot continue to stall climate action, says @manupulgarvidal @WWF_Schweiz

Antarctica's sea ice reached a concerning low for the third year in a row. Scientists say the trend is indicative of a "regime shift," supported by research suggesting an abrupt and critical transition in sea ice dynamics. https://t.co/ChVgoZqL0j #ClimateCrisis #Antarctica"

We spoke with experts from @ucdavisvetmed monitoring avian flu on the Antarctic Peninsula. On Feb 24: #avianflu reached mainland #Antarctica following detection and spread at South Georgia. This is a global #conservation concern we must continue to monitor @AntarcticaSouth

GREAT NEWS! 🥳

South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands are growing their 'no take zone'! 🐋🦭🐧

From blue whales to king penguins, these waters are teeming with life and this expansion is a vital step in protecting them from the impacts of a changing climate. 🙌

@Thomas_Hougaard Yes, that’s fine!

Antarctica might be thousands of kilometres away, but it affects us all like no other continent.

As world leaders gather for the COP28 climate summit, we bring you a report on how even the most remote place on Earth is beginning to crumble: https://t.co/vfHKx4M4qT

Our poles are warming:

🌡️ 4x faster in the #Arctic
🌡️ 2x faster in #Antarctica

#Cyrosphere research shows that ice & snow melt is happening faster than expected 🚨

@kent_rhona It is 😢

[Emily Grilly @EmilyGrilly]

Continued inaction is indefensible. Antarctica is relying on us. 2024 will be a critical year for #CCAMLR to step up conservation.

Very sad news today - avian influenza has reached Antarctica. We need to do all we can to reduce the impacts this disease will have on Antarctic wildlife.

[Government SGSSI @GovSGSSI]

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) has been confirmed in brown skua populations on Bird Island, South Georgia. These are the first confirmed cases of the disease in the Antarctic region.

[UN Biodiversity @UNBiodiversity]

Antarctica's sea-ice hit a historic low Feb 2023, and winter saw even more record-breaking declines.📉

This threatens habitats and wildlife. Tragic consequences include mass penguin chick deaths.

Urgent action is needed – now. RT if you're with us!

For the first time, scientists have combined all our knowledge on ecosystems and climate change near Antarctica for decision-makers.

We're so proud to have contributed to @MEASO20.

It's like an @IPCC_CH report, just for the Southern Ocean.
