March of the Penguins in Hamburg

Models of penguin appear in iconic locations in several cities, as part of Greenpeace campaign for the establishment of an Antarctic Ocean Sanctuary.

The sanctuary would be a safe haven for penguins, whales and seals, putting the waters off-limits to the industrial fishing vessels sucking up the tiny shrimp-like krill which Antarctic life relies on.

The benefits of an Antarctic Ocean Sanctuary would be global. Healthy oceans sustain precious wildlife, help limit climate change and provide food security for billions of people.

"March of the Penguins" in Hamburg

Im Rahmen der Greenpeace-Kampagne zur Etablierung eines antarktischen Meeresschutzgebietes, tauchen in mehreren Staedten Pinguin-Modelle an symboltraechtigen Orten auf.

Das Schutzgebiet waere ein sicherer Zufluchtsort für Pinguine, Wale und Robben und wuerde den industriellen Fischereifahrzeugen Einhalt gebieten, welche in großen Mengen Krill fangen und somit den Meerestieren ihre Hauptnahrungsquelle rauben.

Die Vorteile eines antarktischen Meeresschutzgebietes waeren außerdem global. Gesunde Ozeane tragen zur Begrenzung des Klimawandels bei.
