Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program Strategic Plan: 2021-2025

The Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program (CBMP) is the biodiversity monitoring program of the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF), the biodiversity working group of the Arctic Council.
The overall goal of the CBMP is to facilitate more rapid detection, understanding, prediction, communication, and response to the significant biodiversity-related trends and pressures in the Arctic. CBMP does this by:

• Standardizing, coordinating, and enhancing existing Arctic monitoring efforts;
• Collecting and harmonizing relevant biodiversity data, including increasing data accessibility, thereby improving the ability to detect and understand significant trends; and,
• Reporting to, and communicating with, key decision makers and stakeholders, thereby enabling effective conservation and adaptation responses to changes in Arctic biodiversity.
