Conservation

Penguins are disappearing from Antarctica.
The U.S. research base, which has been censusing wildlife in Antarctica for the past 43 years, believes that the population of penguins has decreased by 85 percent. The Adelie penguin depends on sea ice to survive but because of climate change, the sea ice season has become three months shorter over the past several decades. [CBS]

Ranchers are breeding endangered species like the dama gazelle and the scimitar oryx because of their economic value and therefore, causing these species’ to thrive in Texas.
