We call on all nations to support scientific research focused on conservation, climate change and the protection of Antarctic wildlife. 🐧🐋
The white continent must remain a sanctuary for peace and science, not profit.

Grand Duchy of Flandrensis @flandrensis.bsky.social · 3d

Flandrensis firmly opposes any exploitation of resources and minerals on the white continent. We remind the Antarctic Treaty parties - including the Russian Federation - that the mining ban, in force since 1998, must be respected by all.

We deeply admire the dedication of many ecological micronations and are truly honored that this respect is mutual. We’re incredibly proud that our friends from the Principality of Baobabs in Togo have named a sports field after Flandrensis! #micronation #micronationalism

We’re thrilled to welcome Ljena Sam as our new Minister of Digital Development, Postal Service & Philately! 🤝

Did you know that Flandrensis has a shield volcano that is potentially active 🌋? Mount Siple stands at an impressive 3,162 meters. Adélie penguins are known to nest on its slopes 🐧, making it a unique and remote part of our planet. #Antarctica #Micronation #Flandrensis

Eigenlijk zijn er tot 400 micronaties wereldwijd (in alle soorten en maten), waarvan sommige claims hebben op de terra nullius 🌏
Ook in België zijn er heel wat actief 🤫 In 2023 was ze zelfs een internationale conferentie voor micronaties in Ieper.

The failure of the international summit shows how far we still are. Meanwhile, microplastics are already reaching #Antarctica. But change also begins with us: reducing single-use plastics and supporting innovation in sustainable materials #BeatPlasticPollution #PlasticsTreaty

UN Environment Programme @unep.org · Aug 15

Following 10 days of negotiations, #INC5 talks to develop a global #PlasticsTreaty adjourned on 15 August in Geneva without consensus on a text of the instrument.

Negotiations will resume at a future date to be announced: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

“194 countries signed the Paris Accords, but it’s a sad reality that climate change is not their priority. I hope my story will inspire some people here to start their own micronation where the environment will be their number one priority, because even with small actions they can make a change”.
