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.

READING PART TWO

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.
