Fluffy Chicks are Blown From Their Nests in Antarctic Storms | Seven Worlds, One Planet | BBC Earth

Albatross chicks are being blown from their nests by stronger and stronger storms, intensified by climate change. With their parents unable to recognise them once they're off their roost, how will they survive?

maxkingone the best possible action, as the average person, is to fund projects for saving these animals. Not everyone has the ability to fly to Antarctica and help with preserving the wildlife for a year, and protests aren’t usually directed towards a group of people who find any significance in wildlife preservation.

When I saw the documentary, it broke my heart.. Sir David Attenborough narrated that the parent albatross go out into the ocean looking for food. During their absence, the birds are knocked over from their nests due to the heavy winds. They might die within a few hours in those conditions. Sadly, the parent albatross can not seem to recognize their own chicks unless they are present in their nests. In order to get warmth and food from their parent, the chicks have to climb on their own. Due to their under-developed legs and wings, it is extremely tough for them to do so. No help is received from the parent.. And not every young one is able to climb on.

[@MS-sj7zx]

I cried terribly. It was so heartbreaking.

[@mel9438]

The fact that most people cannot intelligibly grasp that different species of different intelligence can still suffer in the same way is the failure of our species imo

[@nukesakuji]

@@skaterdudeprodutions True. However, that's what all average people can do. Clean up their environment and plant trees. At least those 2 things are what's mainly proven to be "effective" in terms of helping the environment. It's not drastic but it does something positive for once. Big corporations are another problem that we can't just take down sadly, but eventually, an investment in the environment might be better rather than non-renewable or non-recyclable materials. I honestly think that makes sense but people are that greedy as to prolong their business on something that can't even last long.

[@LeSeulGarcon]

Taylor Atkinson there’s nothing staged about the population decline of so many animals leading to the extinction of many others because of climate change, loss of habitat and human encroachment. Your comment was neither witty or enlightened. These people are out there trying to save these animals which is far more noble than what you are doing with your purposeless life.

[@Kami84]

The Albatross parents don't recognize their own chicks if they see them outside the nest which is a head scratcher. Crows are WAY smarter. Hard to believe different birds can have such different intelligence.

[@Jackson-rf6rv]

In 1979 the human population was 4.3 billion. In 2019 it stands at 7.7billion. we are the reason the Albatross are at risk of extinction.

@@malhargore7805 By tugging at our hearts in these emotive ways and then blaming it all on common folk we are being set up to want to be taxed in a way that will alleviate the suffering of these poor birds and stop the wind blowing so strongly. "The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, but would basically be a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essentially be a system of slavery where, through consumption and entertainment, the slaves would love their servitudes. " quote attributed to Aldous HUXLEY (1894-1963) So, it is best if we ask to be ( carbon) taxed, or at least see it as reasonable. You know, to help nature. After all it's our fault isn't it.
