We're thrilled Josh joined us as CAFF's Arctic Indigenous Canadian Youth Fellow. We're looking forward to more collaborations in the years ahead!

How do #wildfires impact the landscape in Alaska? As climate change leads to more intense and destructive wildfire seasons, how might fire management be adapted? We spoke with fire ecologist and @CAFF_Arctic expert Lisa Saperstein to find out in this Q&A: arctic-council.org/news/wildfires…

Applications for the @ArcticMayors Mentorship Program are open! Apply by August 12. Funded by the European Union @EU_FPI @EU_EEAS @EU_MARE #EUArctic #EUForeignPolicy #YouthTogether4Arctic lnkd.in/dYxic6nT

The three #whales endemic to the #Arctic—bowhead, belugas & narwhal—have evolved to live with sea ice 🧊🐋 "It is no surprise that climate change is affecting their well-being." 🌡️ Kit M. Kovacs, @CAFF_Arctic, in #TheCircleWWF 🔗: arcticwwf.org/the-circle/sto… arcticwwf.org/the-circle/sto…

#Wildfires in the #Arctic are an existential threat to our planet's health, says Edward Alexander of @GwichinCouncil . Learn about the scale of Arctic wildland fires 🔥 & why they are a global threat👇 Full video with more insights from the Arctic here: youtube.com/watch?v=JHh9Y5…

Join CBMP colleagues for an #Arctic #biodiversity #monitoring session tomorrow morning at the @WorldBioForum and during the poster session!

Looking though artistic summary of Arctic workshop hosted by @UZH_Science at the @WorldBioForum and attended by CAFF Chair and CAFF Exec Sec Thanks to artist Oliver Wyman and hosts @GabrielaSchaep1 and Jakob Assmann

Join @CAFF_Arctic & IASC for the opening of the the Arctic Biodiversity Through the Lens photography exhibit at Kirchnerpark at 13:30 on 19.06. -> The opening is part of the @WorldBioForum, where CAFF will be hosting a session on Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program

Arctic pollinators are vital for plant reproduction in the Arctic. Yet, they're understudied. The START report by @CAFF_Arctic urges long-term sampling, standardized data collection, and collaboration with Indigenous Knowledge holders to get a better understanding of pollinators.

CAFF Chair @ThaulowInge , the CAFF Secretariat and CBMP colleagues are excited to take part in the #Worldbiodiveristyforum hosted in Switzerland this week. We have a session on #Arctic #biodiversity #monitoring on Wednesday June 19

How does #plasticpollution travel in & out of #Arctic waters? And how can @PAME_Arctic's 'Plastic in a Bottle' help us find out? Learn more in this video from the launch of the northernmost bottle to date - which traveled over 3505km & recently reached land in Western Iceland👇

Last week we attended the @ArcticObsSummit to discuss "Local to Global Observing", with a special focus on CAFF's Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program, with @ICC_Canada @aleut_aia @NTNU Grateful to discuss community-driven monitoring and global reporting systems.

Arctic freshwater systems are crucial for drinking water, food, hydropower & more. In 2019 @CAFF_Arctic released the 1st circumpolar synthesis of freshwater biodiversity. From temperature shifts to species changes, here are 5 takeaways for #WorldWaterDay: arctic-council.org/news/arctic-fr…

The #Arctic #Pollinator #Monitoring Workshop report is out! For the first time, Arctic pollinator experts and monitoring agencies met to communicate existing and upcoming Arctic pollinator research, identify knowledge gaps, and build new partnerships oaarchive.arctic-council.org/items/35cb83a0…

It is with sadness that CAFF recently learned of the passing of Dr. Igor A. Melnikov, a long-term contributor to CAFF and long-standing fixture in polar science. caff.is/news/in-memory…

Icelandic Head of Delegation to CAFF @SnorriSigur on panel 2 at the #PolarSymposium joining speakers from @WWFArcticProgra @SaamiCouncil @INSTAAR @ArcticEcom @NorskPolar . Thank you to @FPA2 and @IASC_Arctic for the invitation to discuss knowledge, biodiversity and policy

Happy to host the CAFF Chair @ingethaulow and CBMP Chair Tom Christensen at the CAFF office this week to organize the important work ahead. Complete with proper Arctic weather.
