Today we worked with the International School of Milan (ICS) to explore Antarctic science. Students viewed a 1.5 million year old ice core (stored at Università Bicocca Scienza Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca in Milan), asked scientists questions about life on the ice, and joined a live call with the

New British Antarctic Survey 🐧 research reveals the stark toll of decades of warming: some Antarctic seal populations have plummeted by over 50%. The climate crisis isn’t theoretical - it’s unfolding in real time. 🧊🦭 #ProtectAntarctica Read more: theguardian.com/environment/20…

#OnThisDay in 1961, the Antarctic Treaty came into force. Signed in 1959 by 12 nations active during the IGY (1957–58), it now has 58 Parties. The Treaty ensures Antarctica is used for peaceful purposes only, with freedom of scientific research and open sharing of results.

Antarctica and its surrounding ocean regulate our climate, store carbon, and support life globally. As #ATCM47 kicks off today in Milan, it’s time to act decisively to protect this vital region, for nature and for humanity. asoc.org #ProtectAntarctica

Today the 27th Meeting of the Committee for Environmental Protection (#CEP27) began in Milan, with the participation of nearly 450 delegates from state Parties to the Protocol and intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations. 🇮🇹 🇦🇶 #Antarctica #AntarcticaProtected

“Species-rich Antarctica” is more than just a youth art project - it's a call to action. ASOC urges #ATCM to advance the regulatory framework for growing Antarctic tourism and designate the emperor penguin as a specially protected species. 🖼️ 📸: Viktoria Spokojna

The emperor #penguin is on the frontlines of the #ClimateCrisis. This #ATCM47, countries have a crucial chance to give it Specially Protected Species status and help prevent its disappearance. bit.ly/4e0Yg4j #ProtectAntarctica

Heading into week 2 of #ATCM47

Tourism is growing fast in Antarctica but protections aren’t keeping pace. At #ATCM47 🇮🇹 Parties must move beyond site-by-site management and embrace a regional, conservation-driven approach: bit.ly/3FLHtFJ #ProtectAntarctica

A dramatic shift in the Southern Ocean: surface waters are growing saltier, sea ice is vanishing at record pace, and heat is rising from the deep. Scientists warn this may signal a dangerous feedback loop that could reshape Antarctica, and the planet. oceanographicmagazine.com/news/saltier-h…

Satellite imagery of 16 #emperorpenguin colonies show a 22% population decline from 2009-2024. “It’s absolutely alarming that the numbers are so much worse than predicted,” #WHOI’s Dan Zitterbart told the The Associated Press 📲Get the full story: go.whoi.edu/ap-ep

ASOC is at #ATCM47 pushing for a comprehensive tourism framework — including a regional management approach — as Antarctic visitor numbers soar to 130,000. Each trip emits ~5.44 tons of CO₂, raising urgent climate concerns. skift.com/2025/06/24/the…

Our creative activities at the #ATCM47 in Milan this year are interactive! We invited delegates to answer: “What do you associate with the emperor penguin as a species?” 🐧 Check out what they had to say 🗣️…soon, we will share the pictures of the artwork opening, stay tuned! 🎨

On its first dedicated science voyage in March, Australia’s RSV Nuyina reached parts of Antarctica usually blocked by summer sea ice, because there was none. Read more: theconversation.com/antarctic-summ…

A Blanket for Penguins was created by 55 children at Montessori Bergamo, guided by artists. Using cyanotype, they printed penguin drawings on fabric, forming a symbolic icy quilt to protect a melting world. ❄️🐧 #ATCM47 📸 Nicola Gnesi Umweltbundesamt Bundesumweltministerium Deutsche Umwelthilfe

As #ATCM47 🇮🇹 concludes in Milan, ASOC advocated for: 🔹 A regional framework to regulate tourism 🔹 Emperor penguin protection 🔹 Action on gray water & plastic pollution Despite urgent calls, little progress was made. Antarctica is sounding the alarm. It needs us, now. 🐧🌊
