Save the Arctic

Campaign

About

The "Save the Arctic" campaign is a global initiative led by Greenpeace to protect the Arctic region from destructive industrial activities. Launched in 2012, it focuses on preventing oil drilling and unsustainable industrial fishing in the Arctic. The campaign aims to establish a global sanctuary around the North Pole, similar to the environmental protections in place for Antarctica. This sanctuary would safeguard the Arctic's unique ecosystem and wildlife, such as polar bears and narwhals, from the impacts of climate change and industrial exploitation. The campaign has garnered significant support, with millions of signatures on its petition and backing from celebrities and organizations worldwide. It emphasizes the importance of preserving the Arctic's role in regulating global climate and preventing further environmental degradation. By raising awareness and advocating for policy changes, the campaign seeks to ensure that the Arctic remains a pristine and protected environment for future generations.
