Antarctic wildlife faces extinction in the century unless conservation efforts increase 

Scientists said 'up to 80% of emperor penguin colonies are projected to be quasi-extinct by 2100' if 'business-as-usual increases in greenhouse gas emissions' continue.

Up to two-thirds of wildlife and plants in the Antarctic, including emperor penguins, will be in decline throughout the century, unless conservation efforts are stepped up.

Climate change is identified as the most serious threat to Antarctic biodiversity by 29 leading experts, in a study published in PLOS Biology scientific journal.
