Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future Fund

Securing Antarctica’s Environmental Future (SAEF) is working to become the world’s leading research program delivering interdisciplinary science to forecast environmental change across the Antarctic region, to deploy effective environmental stewardship strategies in the face of this change, and to secure Antarctica as a natural reserve devoted to peace and science.

With your support, SAEF can continue to drive leadership in science and environmental stewardship that lies at the heart of securing the environmental future of Antarctica, the Southern Ocean and the sub-Antarctic islands.

With your generous support today, you can help:

• $100 – purchase a webcam for an Antarctic sensing platform, to monitor snow and snowmelt over the summer growing season in Antarctica.
• $250 – purchase microclimate sensors for monitoring Antarctic moss.
• $1,000 – radiocarbon date an Antarctic moss shoot, tracking how old it is, how fast it’s growing and how it is coping with climate change. 
• $2,500 – develop and maintain environmental monitoring platforms that track changes in Antarctica’s fragile ecosystems.
• $5,000 – purchase a high-resolution camera for an Antarctic sensing platform, to map and monitor Antarctic vegetation.
• $10,000 – purchase an environmental monitoring platform for year-round real time monitoring of ecologically relevant microclimates to inform environmental management of protected Antarctic vegetation communities.
• $35,000 – build a drone sensing platform to map Antarctica’s environments from above and monitor vegetation health over whole catchments.
