There is one almost completely untouched body of water on our planet - a magical place where majestic blue whales, penguins, and mysterious squid roam free.

But this paradise -- the size of Germany, France and the UK combined -- could soon be lost. Hunters have already massacred thousands of endangered whales in Antarctica’s Ross Sea, now massive industrial fishing fleets want to devastate the area.

But if 24 countries agree, this pristine ocean can become the world’s biggest marine protected area. 23 are finally on board, 1 isn’t -- yet.

Russia has been blocking this agreement for years, but are finally considering to move. President Putin sees himself as a champion of animals at home, and now his government is about to chair ocean talks. Let’s push them to join with a global outcry - sign now.
