Stop the closure of the British Antarctic Survey and cuts to polar research funding

Additional Information

The British Antarctic Survey is one of the UK's most distinguished scientific organisations. The proposed merger with the National Oceanography Centre will seriously weaken Britain's scientific reputation and its ability to carry out climate research at a time when important climatic changes at the poles need to be investigated.

We urge the government to prevent the merger and keep the British Antarctic Survey intact, keep it properly funded, and ensure the UK remains at the forefront of Antarctic and Arctic research.
