The Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary: <\/strong>A Call for Our Collective Survival with the Largest Marine Protected Area in History<\/em>, <\/p>\n\n\n\n A conference on \u2018The Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary\u2019<\/strong> will be conducted by SAMDeS India on 4th<\/sup> February 2022 from 5:00 to 6:15 PM<\/em>. It will be addressed by Dr. Karen Ho & Rina Barouch-Bentov<\/strong>, PhD. of Parvati Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A snapshot of the conference, provided by Parvati Foundation<\/em> <\/strong>is placed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are 7.8 billion people and 8.7 million species which need a peaceful, healthy world\u2014one where we can live in safety and access the food and resources we need to survive. But all of that depends on the Arctic Ocean. For millions of years, the Arctic Ocean has been our planet’s air conditioning system. It regulates the atmospheric currents, ocean currents, and weather patterns that sustain our lives. But it has changed drastically in the past decades. Today, there is 75% less Arctic sea ice in the summer than there was just 50 years ago. As a result, the world’s weather patterns have become unstable with greater floods, fires, droughts, and other natural disasters\u2014leading to displacement, unrest, and water and hunger crises. At the same time, military and commercial interests are taking advantage of the Arctic Ocean in its vulnerable state and doing even more damage. This is an under-reported global emergency<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The audience is encouraged to engage enthusiastically through discussions, Q&A rounds, and a strong call to action to protect the Arctic Ocean as our shared heritage.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The SAMDeS fraternity is welcome to join. Prior registration is required, Please email to cmde_ssamaddar@samdesindia.in <\/p>\n\n\n\n Image Source: https:\/\/nsidc.org\/arcticseaicenews\/map-of-the-arctic-ocean\/ The Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary: A Call for Our Collective Survival with the Largest Marine Protected Area […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1129,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[19],"tags":[511,512,516,515,513,113,514],"yoast_head":"\n
In this virtual presentation, attendees will learn about the current dire state of Arctic Ocean exploitation and militarization, and the global consequences\u2014as well as the singular opportunity presented by the Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary (MAPS). As the largest marine preserve in history, MAPS is a critical and urgently needed response. Through evocative visuals, this presentation tells the story of the origin of MAPS, its vision for a peaceful Arctic Ocean and a healthy planet, and our human capacity to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
