what is the reason for the Antarctic Treaty?

The Antarctic Treaty regulates international relations with respect to Antarctica, and the activities of signatory countries. The main focus is environmental protection, as the continent has fragile ecosystems. The countries of the region that signed the treaty have agreed not to put bases on the continent, to preserve its wildlife, and generally to respect the environment.
