The penguin populations in Antarctica are changing due to global warming and melting ice. Looking at four penguin species we can see how as some species are growing in numbers as others are decreasing. Melting sea ice is changing the habitat for these species, and and for some species like the Gentoo penguin and Chinstrap penguin this is a good thing, but for some like the Adelie it is detremental. Once again we are seeing the effects of global warming, and also how important it is to make an effort to reduce climate change in order to save different species like the penguins.
