The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed emperor penguins and Antarctic fur seals as endangered, primarily due to climate change impacts. The emperor penguin population is projected to decline by 50% by 2080, while the Antarctic fur seal population has already decreased by 50% since 2000 due to food scarcity.
