INTRODUCTION

Welcome this is  host tracy shoolman with today’s Gaia Translate. In this episode    The Great Spirit of the Emperor Penguin steps forward with a heartbreaking lament. I knew it was imperative I channel the Great Spirit of the Emperor Penguin as soon as I read a devastating BBC news report by  Science correspondent , Jonathan Amos, who reported : ”A catastrophic die-off of emperor penguin chicks has been observed in the Antarctic, with up to 10,000 young birds estimated to have been killed.” He goes on to explain  “ Apparently the sea-ice underneath the chicks melted and broke apart before they could develop the waterproof feathers needed to swim in the ocean. The birds most likely drowned or froze to death. The event, in late 2022, occurred in the west of the continent in an area fronting on to the Bellingshausen Sea.”
