'We need drastic political will to stick to the 1.5C target'
Alone and vulnerable, with its fate in the balance, the pup makes one of the most poignant images in the latest – and possibly hardest hitting – David Attenborough documentary, Frozen Planet II.
He told the Sunday National that if global warming exceeds the agreed 1.5C target then their future is “bleak”. “We need the world leaders to start acting on their commitments they made at COP26 in Glasgow last year. We need drastic political will to stick to the 1.5C target.” “We are seeing changes in pregnancy rates as the number of pups being born has reduced and we are also seeing failed pregnancies,” said Grecian.
“So we are seeing populations starting to struggle as we have had years now where the ice doesn’t form as well and the mums try to give birth on very thin ice.” Grecian, who decided to become a scientist after growing up on a diet of David Attenborough documentaries, said taking part in Frozen Planet II was a “fantastic” opportunity to tell the harp seal story.
