Editing Gentoo penguin (section)

==Conservation status==
The population of ''Pygoscelis papua'' in the maritime Antarctic is rapidly increasing. Due to regional climate changes, they colonise previously inaccessible territories southwards. {{As of|2019}}, the [[IUCN Red List]] lists the gentoo as least concerned with a stable population trend, although rapid declines in some key areas are believed to be driving a moderate overall decline in the species population. Examples include [[Bird Island, South Georgia]], where the population has fallen by two-thirds over 25 years.<ref name="iucn status 18 November 2021" /> Many threats to this species, including pollution, hunting, fishing and human recreational activities continue to affect them.<ref>{{Cite web|last=International)|first=BirdLife International (BirdLife|date=2019-08-28|title=IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: ''Pygoscelis papua''|url=https://www.iucnredlist.org/en|access-date=2021-05-25|website=IUCN Red List of Threatened Species}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Dykyy |first1=Ihor |last2=Bedernichek |first2=Tymur |title=Gentoo Penguins (''Pygoscelis papua'') started using mosses as nesting material in the southernmost colony on the Antarctic Peninsula (Cape Tuxen, Graham Land) |date=2021-11-17 |doi=10.1007/s00300-021-02968-4 |url=https://i-share-uic.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01CARLI_UIC/1b4dsmk/cdi_gale_infotracacademiconefile_A715536576|journal = Polar Biology|volume=45|issue=1|page=149|s2cid=253816909 |url-access=subscription }}</ref>
