"Within days, governments could begin turning wide stretches of the **Antarctic ocean into the world's largest marine sanctuary**, saving the habitat of whales, penguins, and thousands of other polar species from industrial fishing fleets. **But they won’t act unless we speak out now.**  
  
Most countries support the sanctuary, but **Russia, South Korea and a few others are threatening to vote it down** so they can plunder these seas now that others have been fished to death. This week, a small group of negotiators will meet behind closed doors to make a decision. A massive people-powered surge **could break open the talks, isolate those attempting to block the sanctuary, and secure a deal** to protect over 6 million square kilometers of the precious Antarctic ocean.  
  
**The whales and penguins can't speak for themselves, so it's up to us to defend them**. Let's change negotiators' minds with a massive wave of public pressure -- Avaaz will surround the meeting with hard-hitting ads, and together we'll deliver our message to delegates via a deafening cry on social networks. **Sign and share this urgent petition**."
