We’re working toward a future where Antarctica is recognized as a legal subject, with voice and agency in the decisions shaping her fate.Abu Dhabi showed the momentum is real. FIVE Rights of Nature motions passed—scientists, Indigenous leaders, policymakers, and activists united in saying: yes, Antarctica has rights.We’re not stopping until she has a seat at the table.Thanks to everyone who believed, voted, and made this possible! 🙏 The real work begins now. 🐧 https://www.instagram.com/p/DP6pQZbjPa8/?igsh=MW96NXViM3B4MnhzbQ==
