Arctic sea ice has retreated dramatically in recent years and scientists say the North Pole could soon be ice free. This is devastating for the species that live there, and for all life on Earth. The ice reflects heat back into space, keeping our planet cool and regulating our weather. The melting ice is allowing a new Arctic oil rush and access for industrial-scale fishing fleets which could decimate marine life.

Our campaign will mobilise millions of people from all walks of life to ensure that the UN declares the High Arctic a global sanctuary. We have done it before with World Park Antarctica. We can do it again. It will mean that the pristine High Arctic environment will be protected and the wider Arctic off limits to oil companies and industrial fishing fleets. Instead it will remain a place dedicated to scientific research, sustainable fishing and supporting local communities.
