Act for Antarctica
Antarctica and the Southern Ocean seem so far away that they are like an entirely different planet. Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, they are at the very center of most vital Earth systems. The health of our global ocean, the stability of our global climate, and our own civilization depend on Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. Now, facing rapid, extreme change to our global life-support system, we must act together to protect Antarctica and ourselves. Here are some of the things we can do together:
01 Act for Marine Protected Areas in Antarctica
Marine Protected Areas in the Southern Ocean give vulnerable Antarctic creatures the best chance of surviving climate change, because they remove other pressures, like krill fishing.
02 Act to protect species of the Southern Ocean
Krill is the key to the Antarctic ecosystem. Krill fishing endangers already vulnerable ecosystems. It is imperative that we end exploitation of the Southern Ocean. Learn more in the latest report from Our Antarctica.
03 Act for Climate and Peace
Join the United Nations in supporting climate action, ocean conservation, and more.
04 Learn all you can about Antarctica
Knowledge is power. You can start with our series: Science in Antarctica.
