Who is affected?

The Moon belongs to no nation, no company, and no individual — it is part of our shared natural heritage. Yet decisions made by governments and private companies today will affect all of us, and generations to come. If we begin mining the Moon without international safeguards, we risk setting a dangerous precedent: where profit and power come before protection and preservation.

What is at stake?

Permanently shadowed lunar craters may hold ancient ice — a scientific treasure and natural record of the early solar system. These environments are fragile and non-renewable. The Moon has no atmosphere, no water cycle, and no way to recover what is taken. Unregulated mining could irreversibly damage a world we barely understand, while deepening the mindset that has already led to environmental breakdown on Earth.

Why is now the time to act?

Lunar missions are already in motion. If we don’t speak up now, the opportunity for international accountability and restraint could be lost. Space must not become another arena for unchecked extraction and geopolitical competition. We need to pause, reflect, and put ethical frameworks in place — before we apply the same mindset to Mars, the asteroid belt, and beyond. The Moon is not a backup planet. It’s a symbol of what we could do differently — if we choose to.

We ask that:

1. All spacefaring nations and private companies immediately pause lunar resource extraction planning until proper international ethical guidelines are established.

2. Sites of scientific, cultural, and environmental importance on the Moon are identified and protected.

3. Future space exploration is guided by long-term sustainability, transparency, and respect for natural celestial environments.

Who we are:

We are citizens who believe in responsible progress. We support space exploration — but not at the expense of repeating Earth's mistakes. The Moon deserves our respect, not our drills.

Call to Action:

Sign to show your support for an ethical approach to space. The future of exploration should be built on care, not conquest.

Summary:

The Moon is not a resource to be claimed. Without clear ethical and environmental protections, we risk repeating the same destructive pattern that has harmed Earth: extract, use, move on. Support the call for an international framework to govern lunar activity — before extraction begins.
