#AntarcticAmbassador Stella Giangarra shares her thoughts on our January #AmbassadorshipChallenge & how starting out small can lead to a bigger, better impact on the planet 🇦🇶 https://t.co/2SeRuLJz62

It’s here! The #AmbassadorshipChallenge is a 24-task downloadable card (or poster, if you like) designed to inspire polar enthusiasts to be Antarctic Ambassadors and make changes at home to support the world’s most precious place 🇦🇶

The #AmbassadorshipChallenge is here! 🇦🇶 https://t.co/UaaPWuKOzB

@OceanwideExp So saddened by this news. Our thoughts are with all who knew and love Arjen, a dedicated and enthusiastic Antarctic Ambassador.

@HeidiSevestre Antarctica receives relatively few visitors compared to other destinations but its unique qualities require rigorous safeguards. We work closely with #AntarcticTreaty parties to develop Site Guidelines for visitors & operational procedures which are regularly reviewed & enhanced.

@HeidiSevestre IAATO is not a permitting authority for #Antarctica. Our members work within the #AntarcticTreaty framework to deliver responsible operations there.

@HeidiSevestre Thanks for including us in this important conversation. All human activity in Antarctica must be authorised by a competent authority (ie #AntarcticTreaty Party) & is subject to an Environmental Impact Assessment before proceeding…

You could be a visitor, scientist, polar guide – or maybe you’ve just admired Antarctica from afar.

If one or more of these describes you, you’re an #antarcticambassador and we’d love to hear your story. Tell us about yourself: antarcticambassadors@iaato.org 🇦🇶

Are you an #AntarcticAmbassador?
💙 Love and respect the region?
💙 Educate others by sharing your Antarctic experiences?
💙 Advocate for Antarctica when opportunities arise, and
💙 Protect the region by making positive changes at home?
