"Protecting the Arctic"
In July 2012 , Greenpeace began
to share «Save The Arctic» - « Protect the
Arctic" , which aims to create a global reserve around the North Pole - a comprehensive ban of oil production, commercial fishing and wars in the region.
Greenpeace demands the creation of the world reserve shall be distributed to the entire territory of the Arctic, but only on the high-latitude region around the North Pole , a territory which does not belong to anyone now .
Less than a month after the start of the action has been collected over a million signatures by the end of September 2012 the number of signatures was about 2 million
