How can we protect the Arctic region?
Text: The Arctic is a truly special place, but it is under threat from rising temperatures, oil drilling, and industrial fishing. We ask that you use your status as a leader to endorse the International Declaration on the Future of the Arctic. This charter demands action on Indigenous Peoples’ rights, climate change, oil drilling, and unsustainable fishing. Learn more at ArcticDeclaration.org, and please sign on today.
Why is this important?
"The Arctic is an amazing place, home to whales, polar bears, and other amazing creatures. Climate change is affecting all of us, but the Arctic region will feel the effects first, and is the canary of our planet. We need to act now to protect it for future generations."
