This morning, people around the world are waking up to pictures of penguin sightings across the globe.
The sanctuary would be a safe haven for penguins, whales and seals, putting the waters off-limits to the industrial fishing vessels sucking up the tiny shrimp-like krill which Antarctic life relies on.
The benefits of an Antarctic Ocean Sanctuary would be global. Healthy oceans sustain precious wildlife, help limit climate change and provide food security for billions of people.

Das Schutzgebiet waere ein sicherer Zufluchtsort für Pinguine, Wale und Robben und wuerde den industriellen Fischereifahrzeugen Einhalt gebieten, welche in großen Mengen Krill fangen und somit den Meerestieren ihre Hauptnahrungsquelle rauben.
Die Vorteile eines antarktischen Meeresschutzgebietes waeren außerdem global. Gesunde Ozeane tragen zur Begrenzung des Klimawandels bei.||Models of penguin appear in iconic locations in several cities, as part of Greenpeace campaign for the establishment of an Antarctic Ocean Sanctuary.

The penguins have been spotted travelling on trains, arriving at international airports and at iconic landmarks. From Sydney to Buenos Aires and from London to Johannesburg, the question on everybody’s mind – what are they here for?
The penguins are part of a new Greenpeace campaign calling for the creation of the largest protected area on earth: a 1.8 million square kilometre ocean sanctuary in the Antarctic. An Antarctic Ocean Sanctuary that would form a safe haven for penguins, whales and seals. A Sanctuary that keeps away industrial fishing vessels sucking up the tiny shrimp-like krill, that Antarctic life relies on. An Antarctic Sanctuary that limits the impact of climate change. A Sanctuary that would help secure the health of our oceans.
This Sanctuary will only happen if we demand that our leaders protect our shared oceans. This year we have a once in a lifetime opportunity to make it happen – the Antarctic Ocean Commission meets to discuss the proposal in October.
We need to stand with the penguins and make world leaders listen to us, all of us! Click here to join the movement to protect the Antarctic!
