30% of the entire penguin population is a massive number though. That's tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of penguins affected. If we wait for a problem to have to affect more than 50% before we worry then it'll already be long past a lost cause.

Not 30% of the population. Not 30% dead. It’s 30% of colonies affected.
