Abstract

ASOC member organization WWF supports a precautionary and science-based approach to identify the pressures and threats to the planet’s largest wilderness. WWF’s new biennial report - Tracking Antarctica - provides a scientific update on the state of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. It identifies ways to respond to the challenges based on the latest scientific evidence to ensure the wonders of the Antarctic are preserved for generations to come. The report will be available publicly as a digital application for mobile phones and tablets in October 2016 and the app will be updated throughout the year.
