Some species are currently threatened and all species are impacted by the activities of man, from climate change, over-fishing, oil spills, deforestation, water pollution, encroachment and habitat destruction. Recent scientific predictive models based on climate change trends and population dynamics of Emperor penguins suggest that the impact of climate change on sea ice coverage could result in the reduction of Emperor penguins by 95% by year 2100. The models rate probability of this change at 8 out of 10.
