Researchers confirm decline in breeding chinstrap penguins in Antarctic Peninsula
In a paper published this week in the journal Polar Biology, researchers from the Antarctic Site Inventory confirm significant declines in the breeding population of chinstrap penguins in the vastly warming Antarctic Peninsula, where it's warming faster than, or as fast as, any other place on Earth.
More than 60 penguins who migrated from the southern tip of Argentina and are battling pollution-related health problems have been rescued in recent days on the Uruguayan coast, the group that is rehabilitating the birds told Efe.
