Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty

The Antarctic is protected by stringent environmental protection regulations.

The Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, also named the Madrid Protocol after where it was signed, is – in addition to the Antarctic Treaty itself – an equally important element of the Antarctic Treaty system. The Protocol has been ratified by 33 states since May 2013.
