Welcome - Thank you for joining us in the conservation of the world's largest nature sanctuary!

When many initiatives are still too few!
What are we doing?

  • An important initiative for the future of the Planet - your help counts!

    Marine Protected Areas

    Antarctica's Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are a testament to the world's efforts to preserve one of the last pristine areas on Earth. Encompassing vast expanses of the Southern Ocean surrounding the Antarctic continent, these protected areas are critical to safeguarding the unique and fragile ecosystems that thrive in this remote and inhospitable environment.

  • BECAUSE WE ARE BORROWING THE PLANET FROM FUTURE GENERATIONS

    Youth for Antarctica

    We are young people with an Antarctic vocation with the mission to contribute to global conservation efforts to protect Antarctica and the Southern Oceans, from a Latin American perspective.

    In partnership with global leaders in motivating change such as Linda Cruse (www.lindacruse.com) we are committed to train 100,000 young leaders in the next 10 years.

    Will you join us in our dream?.

  • CAMPAIGN TO MAKE ANTARCTICA WHITE AGAIN

    Microplastics in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean

    Antarctica is traditionally known for its white landscapes on world maps. But now, this is changing. The continent has become contaminated with microplastics.

    In collaboration with Graham Bartram, we have reimagined the Antarctic flag to represent its current reality, characterized by microplastic pollution.

    Join us in calling on the global community to combat plastic pollution by passing a comprehensive Global Plastics Treaty.

    During the COP28 climate change summit in Dubai we launched the joint work to bring back the iconic white color to Antarctica.

  • THERE ARE OPTIONS FOR A CLEANER WORLD; LET'S GO FOR THEM!

    Renewable Energies

    By 2021, only 29 Antarctic Bases have incorporated renewable energy sources into their energy systems, but only one permanent station and four summer stations use renewable energy to cover more than 50% of their energy needs.

  • SHARING AND COLLABORATING IS THE WAY - A COLLABORATION TOOL

    Journal of Antarctic Affairs

    The Journal of Antarctic Affairs is the academic publication of the Antarctic Agenda Foundation and the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition (ASOC). Its aim is to publish multidisciplinary research on policy, environment, technology, culture and economics in the Antarctic and Southern Ocean region. The Journal is published once a year in both English and Spanish (the only bilingual journal in these languages globally).

    The Antarctic continent is the best example of international cooperation and we have been doing our bit since 2014.

  • THE FASCINATION FOR THIS INCREDIBLE WORLD NEVER ENDS.

    Did you know that...?

    The Antarctic Peninsula stands out as one of the major hotspots of accelerated warming in the Southern Hemisphere. As the ocean warms and sea ice melts rapidly, it triggers a cascade of ecosystem-wide impacts. This place is changing faster than most points south, and it's shaking things up as waters warm and sea ice becomes scarce.

Ocean Coalition

This place is like the planet’s climate control center, and its waters are like the all-you-can-eat buffet for fish everywhere. Plus, it’s the only continent on Earth that’s all about peace and science. But here’s the scoop – Antarctica is in trouble. The ice is melting, waters are getting warmer, temperatures are rising, and there’s way too much fishing going on. Antarctica and all its cool species need our our support more than ever.

Some facts you need to know

Location of Antarctica: Antarctica is a continent located in the southern hemisphere of Earth. It is divided into two main regions: Eastern and Western. The Eastern region is the largest and has coastlines along the Indian Ocean. It is dominated by a large ice dome and has a gentle topography with some mountain ranges. The Western region, on the other hand, is smaller and has coastlines washed by the South Atlantic and South Pacific. The Antarctic Peninsula stands out, known for its varied landscape, including mountain ranges and glaciers.

Together, we have the power to influence the future for Antarctica and for humanity as a whole. “The creation of marine protected areas is very important because the first thing it does is protect the overall biodiversity of a place (…). By removing the stress effect caused by fishing from these areas, it allows the ecosystem, through its natural resilience, to confront the impact of climate change.”
