Penguin habitats are primarily polluted by plastic waste, oil spills, and industrial runoff. Plastic debris can entangle or be ingested by penguins, leading to injury or death. Oil spills can coat their feathers, reducing insulation and buoyancy, while chemical pollutants from land-based activities can contaminate their food sources and breeding grounds. Climate change also exacerbates habitat degradation, affecting the availability of food and nesting sites.
