An international team of biologists recently scoured reports and research going back 250 years to identify nine ways humans pose a threat to penguins.
Approximately 33% of the world’s common seal population is found in the British Isles (27,430) and 85% of this population in Scotland.
This is an animal that can grow up to 6 feet long, can weigh up to 2,000 pounds, can dive to depths of nearly 4,000 feet and migrates more than 7,000 miles
The report states that wildlife populations today are 52% less than they were in 1970. In other words, in less than two generations, these populations have declined by more than half.
