Emperor penguins are so far listed as least concerned so they are yet to be endangered, they are one of the most common Antarctic penguins.

However, I have read (I love penguins) that although they are listed as "least concerned", they might soon be (if they are not already) place on the endangered list due to Global Warming. Emperor Penguins need Sea Ice to survive and breed. Other causes of near endangerment may also include other problems with their natural habitat, oil spills boating incidents, pollution, and hunting.
