On July 4, 2013, NPR covered the release of the E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation’s (EOWBF) video Ghost Rookeries: Climate Change and the Adelie Penguin.
Ghost Rookeries, narrated by actor, conservationist, and member of the EOWBF Board of Advisors Harrison Ford, conveys the story of the Adelie Penguin, whose habitat—and thus the biodiversity of all of Antarctica—is being threatened by real-time environmental changes.
“The consequences of a loss of biodiversity could encompass everything from altering key Antarctic marine food chains to the loss of species that may hold cures to cancer,” writes Dr. James McClintock, whose recent book, Lost Antarctica: Adventures in a Disappearing Land (Palgrave/MacMilllan, 2012), forms the basis of Ghost Rookeries.
