CAMPAIGNS

Westarctica is the only nonprofit organization in the world dedicated entirely to Western Antarctica.

Western Antarctica is one of the most fragile ecosystems on the planet, yet there is no single organization dedicated to studying and preserving this vast, magnificent, desolate region. It falls under the political dominion of no government, thus Western Antarctica has no voice in the international community.

Scholarship

The Westarctica Conservation Scholarship is a graduate research grant for the study of climate change.

The goal of this scholarship is to invest in early-career researchers who are pursuing a career in climate-change science.

Finally, in 2019, Japan announced that it would stop all whaling in Antarctic waters.
