Download or read book Penguins written by Pablo Garcia Borboroglu and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Penguins, among the most delightful creatures in the world, are also among the most vulnerable. The fragile status of most penguin populations today mirrors the troubled condition of the southern oceans, as well as larger marine conservation problems: climate change, pollution, and fisheries mismanagement. This timely book presents the most current knowledge on each of the eighteen penguin species-from the majestic emperor penguins of the Antarctic to the tiny blue penguins of New Zealand and Australia, from the northern rockhopper penguins of the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans to the Galapagos penguins of the equator-written by the leading experts in the field. Included for each species: o Life history o Distribution, population sizes and trends o International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) status o Threats to survival o Legal protection The book also provides information on current conservation efforts, outlines the most important actions to be taken to increase each population's resilience, and recommends further research needed to protect penguins and the living creatures that share their environment. Beautifully illustrated with full-color photographs of each species in their natural habitat and detailed charts and graphs, Penguins will be an invaluable tool for researchers, conservation groups, and policy makers. It will also enchant anyone interested in the lives or the plight of these fascinating animals. Watch the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s0BbIU6cqE&feature=plcp

Download or read book Developing Adaptation Options for Seabirds and Marine Mammals Impacted by Climate Change written by Alistair J. Hobday and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project has increased connectedness between seabird and marine mammal researchers, managers and policy makers about the range of climate impacts that are already being experienced by these iconic taxa in Australian waters. Through workshops and collaborative analyses, we have increased the state of knowledge for Australia's iconic marine species, and demonstrated, through publications, a range of analytical approaches for discerning climate impacts, and in some cases resolving these impacts from non-climate drivers, such as bycatch in fisheries, or competition from similar species. The range of adaptation options that could be used to respond to climate-related threats to seabirds and mammals has also raised awareness amongst managers and researchers, and shifted thinking towards active intervention. Preliminary project results have been welcomed by managers at state agencies, particularly the tools developed to prioritise adaptation options. This project provides a solid foundation for testing of adaptation options, with tools to evaluate likely success, institutional barriers to success, and likely social acceptance of different adaptation options.
