Polar oceans

The Artic and the Antactic are weakened by the climate change, the industrialization and the unchecked consumption of our planet's resources.
Both polar oceans are home to distinctive wildlife that has adapted to the extreme environmental conditions, such as the Arctic's polar bears and the Antarctic's penguins. Polar waters provide rich feeding grounds that sustain large populations of seabirds and whales.

But because of the climate change, the poles are in grave danger. We need to protect some of the most fragile and essential ecosystems on earth. Scientists demonstrate that setting aside large areas of the ocean from industrial activities such as fishing and oil and gas extraction provides protection for valuable species and habitats, maintains important ecosystem functions and allows degraded areas to recover.
