Earth's very last ocean wilderness is dying. But soon governments will vote on a bold plan to make Antarctica home to the largest ocean sanctuaries ever! Europe wants it, but needs to show Russia and China the whole world is demanding it. Let's save the towering glaciers, penguins, and killer whales who inhabit this magical, threatened paradise -- sign now!
| SIGN NOW |
Dear friends,
Antarctica is earth's last ocean wilderness: a magical world of towering glaciers, emperor penguins, and killer whales.
But it's being devastated.
An entire generation of baby Adélie penguins has starved to death, and hunters just slaughtered hundreds of minke whales, including pregnant mothers!
Finally there's a bold plan to create the world’s largest ocean sanctuaries in these waters -- and we only need two more countries to agree!
Europe is championing the plan and has the leverage to get them on board, but it needs to show that the whole world wants this. Discussions are happening right now -- sign and pass this on, every last signature counts!

The Antarctic is an ecosystem like no other. Its frozen waters are boiling with life -- from tiny shrimp-like krill, who power food chains that circle the planet, to the extraordinary Blue Whales, the largest animals on earth! In one lifetime they've survived decades of brutal whaling; now we can ensure they live to see their home protected -- forever!
To do that, we need the EU to flex its muscles and get Russia and China on board. When America did that in 2016, it tipped the balance for us to win the giant Ross Sea sanctuary. Now we can do it again -- and the EU has the political power if they get enormous public support. So let's give it to them!
Opportunities like this don't come along often -- we could spend decades fighting for smaller reserves, or we could push like hell right now, and create something truly historic! Millions of our voices from around the world can do it -- click to add yours, then get friends and family to join:

The world can be scary place at the moment -- from child detentions to climate change and chemical weapons -- but here we have an opportunity for something so tender and beautiful. To recognise the awe and wonder of life at the edge of our planet, where the wild things still ride the waves. For all that, and everything we love, let's defend this frozen paradise!
