Polar regions contain vast, undiscovered biodiversity but are both the most-threatened and least-understood areas of the world.
Now scientists led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) are calling for a roadmap of polar ecosystems to fill that knowledge gap, preserve polar life and even protect “our everyday life and our planet’s health.” The study would map all biodiversity in those regions, from the atmosphere to the deep sea and from land to the oceans.
