A new argument has been put forward as to whether penguins are disturbed
by the presence of tourists in Antarctica.
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.

Question 8

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.
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
