 n December 1, 1959, has the purpose to ensure that "in the interest of all 
 mankind that Antarctica shall continue for ever to be used exclusively for 
 peaceful purposes and shall not become the scene or object of international
  discord". Signed in 1991, the Protocol on Environmental Protection (the Ma
 drid Protocol) to the Treaty, designates Antarctica as “a natural reserve, 
 devoted to peace and science”. This webinar will give an overview of how th
 e Antarctic Treaty and its Madrid Protocol work, and how the Treaty system 
 is used to protect the Antarctic environment.</p><p>This webinar series is
