Penguins show signs of stress

A new argument has been put forward as to whether penguins are disturbed by
the presence of tourists in Antarctica.
Previous research by scientists from Keil University in Germany monitored
Adelie penguins and noted that the birds’ heart rates increased dramatically at
the sight of a human as far as 30 meters away. But new research using an
artificial egg, which is equipped to measure heart rates, disputes this. Scientists
from Scott Polar Research Institute at Cambridge say that a slow moving
human who does not approach the nest too closely is not perceived as a
threat by penguins.
The earlier findings have been used to partly explain the 20 per cent drop in
populations of certain types of penguins near tourist sites. However, tour
operators have continued to insist that their activities do not adversely affect
wildlife in Antarctica, saying they encourage non-disruptive behavior in tourists,
and that the decline in penguin numbers is caused by other factors.
Amanda Nimon of the Scott Polar Research Institute spent three southern
hemisphere summers at Cuverville Island in Antarctica studying penguin
behavior towards humans. “A nesting penguin will react very differently to a
person rapidly and closely approaching the nest,” says Simon. “First they
exhibit large and prolonged heart rate changes and then they often flee the
nest leaving it open for predators to fly in and remove eggs or chicks.” The
artificial egg, specially developed for the project, monitored both the parent who
had been “disturbed” when the egg was placed in the nest and the other parent
as they both took it in turns to guard the nest.
However, Boris Culik, who monitored the Adelie penguins, believes that
Nimon’s findings do not invalidate his own research. He points out that species
behave differently – and Nimon’s work was with Gentoo penguins. Nimon and
her colleagues believe that Culik’s research was methodologically flawed
because the monitoring of penguins’ responses entailed capturing and
restraining the birds and fitting them with heart-rate transmitters. Therefore,
argues Nimon, it would not be surprising if they became stressed on seeing a
human subsequently.

THREATS TO OUR WORLD

We have spent thousands of years fighting for our survival. Yet, now we have
discovered that our planet is under threat, and, to make matters worse, it’s our
entire fault.
The rainforests are dying, rare plant and animal species are disappearing,
rivers and seas are being contaminated, crops are failing to grow, people are
dying of hunger and the air is being polluted. It’s time we woke up to these
problems and started repairing the damage.
One of the major problems is the destruction of the rainforests in South
America. They are home to half the world’s species and to millions of
people.AMoreover, the rainforests clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide
and giving out oxygen. The trees are being cut down for paper or to make room
for cattle farms. As a result, birds and animals lose their homes and die. This
destruction is also bringing about changes in the climate, air pollution, flooding,
drought and famine. If we continue to burn and cut down the rainforests as we
are doing now, the earth will never be the same again.
Another big problem is water pollution. Do you like swimming in the sea or
drinking a cool glass of water on a hot day? BFactories are polluting our rivers
and lakes with dangerous chemicals. Oil tankers are releasing thick, black oil
into our oceans. Tons and tons of industrial domestic waste are poured into our
seas. Consequently, sea life is threatened with extinction.
Air pollution is another important issue. The cars and factories in and around
our cities are giving out dangerous fumes. In the past few years, more and
more people than ever before have developed allergies and breathing
problems. If we don’t do something now, our cities will become impossible to
live in.
Fortunately it’s not too late to solve these problems.CWe have the time, the
money and even the technology to prepare the way for a better, cleaner and
safer future. We can plant trees and adopt animals. We can create parks for
endangered species. We can put pressure on those in power to take action D.
