WELLNESS

We are healthcare practitioners dedicated to protecting, caring for, and saving lives.
The Arctic Ocean directly supports our health. It keeps millennia worth of buried pathogens frozen and inert within the nearby permafrost; it cools the planet and prevents heat-related deaths; it reduces storms and flooding that lead to unsafe drinking water and waterborne diseases; it keeps air clean and free of pollutants that trigger respiratory distress and hospitalization; it ensures safe homes and stable societies. But the damage to the Arctic Ocean is threatening these essential pillars of health. As COVID-19 has shown, the health of people and our societies is contingent on our respecting Nature. We champion the creation of the Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary to protect the wellbeing of all.
