Scientists have declared the emperor penguin an endangered species, as climate change continues to push the iconic Antarctic bird closer to extinction, with recent reports highlighting the ongoing threat to the species.

Scientists are concerned about processes in Antarctica, particularly how emperor penguins' annual molting ritual is becoming life-threatening due to climate change and shrinking ice floes in the Southern Ocean.

Scientists have discovered that the annual molting process of emperor penguins, where they lose and regrow feathers, puts them at risk as Antarctica changes due to global warming.

Emperor penguins have been officially listed as an endangered species following an international assessment, with their population projected to halve by the 2080s due to climate change shrinking their sea ice habitat in Antarctica.

British scientists have observed a significant decline in emperor penguins successfully molting in West Antarctica over the past seven years, attributing the difficulty to climate change.
