About the PCO...

PCO_Logo_100x100.jpg
The Polar Conservation Organisation (PCO) was formed by Brendon Grunewald after more than 15 years of work raising awareness and educating both adults and the youth about the Polar Regions, their value to the planet and the fascinating polar environment.

Brendon overwintered in Antarctica as a scientist from 1992 till 1994 and has visited the Polar Regions for research and educational purposes several times. In 1996, he started a personal website (70South), to provide educational information and the latest up-to-date news on and about the Antarctic.  Much of the initial content for the PCO website originates from that site.

Since 2000, Brendon has been talking about and encouraging concerned individuals and groups about the need for a common framework agreement to govern the Polar Regions. Particularly the Arctic is in need of such an agreement, as the Antarctic already has the Antarctic Treaty.

In 2008, through encouragement from several people at the European Parliament, Brendon founded the Polar Conservation Organisation, a legally registered not for profit organisation to take this work forward.

In order to achieve our goal of a sustainable and workable policy on the Polar Regions, the main activities of the Polar Conservation Organisation are:

  • Awareness & Education
  • Online and Print Publications
  • Think Tank & Lobbying

To find out how you or your organisation / company can make a difference and contribute toward conserving the polar regions, contact the PCO.
