Wang Yuheng is famous in China for his photographic memory. He joined Greenpeace on their 2018
tour of the Antarctic calling for an Antarctic Ocean Sanctuary. The Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise is
on a three-month expedition to the Antarctic to carry out scientific research, including
seafloor submarine dives and sampling for plastic pollution, to highlight the urgent need for
the creation of a 1.8 million square kilometre Antarctic Ocean Sanctuary to safeguard
species like whales and penguins.
If the world is an ink painting, the Antarctic is the pristine white space that gives it depth.
In our everyday lives we may not realise what impacts we have on the world’s vast oceans.
But here in the Antarctic this sensitive and pristine ocean comes to life, changing through
hundreds of colours like moods.
The Antarctic is so quiet, you can hear the sound of melting ice.
The warming climate and its impacts are already making life more difficult for the wildlife
here.
We have a responsibility not to cause any further damage.
The Chinese word for Penguin means ‘Watching with Hope’.
Being here in the Antarctic has inspired me to do that too.
Standing face to face with Chinstrap Penguins today, I join them in the hope of watching
world leaders make the right decision.
Join us in protecting the Antarctic ocean and its wildlife.
