Inspiring Arctic Voices Through Youth | Goal | Youth are engaged in the work of CAFF and in Arctic biodiversity conservation to their full potential. | CAFF Arctic Youth Engagement Strategy: 2021-2026 | 2021 | ||
CBird: Seabird Expert Group | Advice | Collaboration Guidelines • Each country should prepare a national implementation plan for the strategy giving special attention to international collaboration. • Ensure the regional and local governments participate in developing a National Implementation Plan • Enlist the participation of local residents and technical specialists at an early stage in deciding how to implement the Strategy. | International Ivory Gull Conservation Strategy and Action Plan | 2008 | ||
CBird: Seabird Expert Group | Advice | Setting priorities Guidelines
| International Ivory Gull Conservation Strategy and Action Plan | 2008 | ||
CBird: Seabird Expert Group | Research and monitoring Objective Provide reliable information about Ivory Gulls needed to implement the Strategy Actions• Develop a comprehensive research agenda foreach population specifying what informationis most needed, how it will be used, and which countries will be involved in doing the work. • Develop a research agenda that determines whether distinct Ivory Gull populations exist in the circumpolar Arctic. • For each major Ivory Gull breeding population, work to estimate population size, productivity, adult survival rates, and identify migration routes and wintering grounds. • Collaborate with the Arctic Monitoring Assessment Program (AMAP) to study contaminants that may be causing mortality or reproductive problems with Ivory Gulls and seek ways to reduce their adverse impacts. • Develop national and international monitoring plans for Ivory Gulls throughout the circumpolar Arctic. | International Ivory Gull Conservation Strategy and Action Plan | 2008 | |||
CBird: Seabird Expert Group | Coordination and consultation Objective Ensure proper coordination with existing programs that affect Ivory Gulls, and encourage awareness of this Ivory Gull Strategy and broad participation in its implementation. Actions • Support other international and national Ivory Gull conservation initiatives. • Review existing programs and plans that affect Ivory Gulls to assure proper coordination as plans develop to implement the Strategy. • Enlist the support of people and groups that are interested in Ivory Gulls; especially local northern residents. • Solicit evaluation of actions carried out under the Strategy by specialists in Ivory Gull biology and other relevant disciplines. • Prepare periodic reports summarizing the status of Ivory Gull populations and accomplishments in Ivory Gull conservation. • Ensure that Ivory Gull conservation projects include an educational component. | International Ivory Gull Conservation Strategy and Action Plan | 2008 | |||
CBird: Seabird Expert Group | Habitat protection Objective: Protect key habitat to ensure continued viability of Ivory Gull populations that depend on them. Actions
| International Ivory Gull Conservation Strategy and Action Plan | 2008 | |||
CBird: Seabird Expert Group | Commercial activities Objective Minimize adverse effects on Ivory Gulls from commercial activities. Action• Evaluate effects of commercial activity on Ivory Gulls. • Prepare guidelines to industry operations to minimize their impacts on Ivory Gulls. | International Ivory Gull Conservation Strategy and Action Plan | 2008 | |||
CBird: Seabird Expert Group | Non-consumptive use Objective Encourage non-consumptive use of Ivory Gulls that do not threaten their populations and ensure that non consumptive use of Ivory Gulls is sustainable. Action

CBMP Terrestrial Biodiversity Monitoring | Key finding | The range and complexity of drivers affecting Arctic terrestrial biodiversity signals the need for comprehensive, integrated, ecosystem-based monitoring programs, coupled with targeted research projects to help decipher causal patterns of change. | State of the Arctic Terrestrial Biodiversity: Key Findings and Advice for Monitoring | 2021 | ||
CBMP Terrestrial Biodiversity Monitoring | Advice | Ecosystem-based Monitoring and Reporting: Monitoring and reporting should encompass all key taxonomic groups and their likely relationships, linking responses to main biotic and abiotic drivers of change.

Inspiring Arctic Voices Through Youth | Goal | Youth voices and perspectives are empowered to advance the goals of CAFF in the conservation of Arctic biodiversity, international collaboration, and raising public awareness of Arctic issues. | CAFF Arctic Youth Engagement Strategy: 2021-2026 | 2021 | ||
Inspiring Arctic Voices Through Youth | Goal | Arctic youth are given access to diverse learning and leadership opportunities in which their perspectives are valued and respected, and their skills and effectiveness are expanded. | CAFF Arctic Youth Engagement Strategy: 2021-2026 | 2021 | ||
Inspiring Arctic Voices Through Youth | Goal | Opportunities for youth engagement and increasing levels of leadership continue to expand. | CAFF Arctic Youth Engagement Strategy: 2021-2026 | 2021 | ||
Inspiring Arctic Voices Through Youth | Goal | Arctic youth are engaged in conservation, raising public awareness, and promoting Arctic biodiversity in their own home countries and in collaboration with other Arctic nations. | CAFF Arctic Youth Engagement Strategy: 2021-2026 | 2021 | ||
Inspiring Arctic Voices Through Youth | Increase opportunities for youth to engage meaningfully with the work of CAFF, including but not limited to:
| CAFF Arctic Youth Engagement Strategy: 2021-2026 | 2021 | |||
Inspiring Arctic Voices Through Youth | Increase numbers of youth engaged and actively participating and strive for diverse representation of youth from all Arctic nations, and beyond. | CAFF Arctic Youth Engagement Strategy: 2021-2026 | 2021 | |||
Inspiring Arctic Voices Through Youth | Facilitate long-term youth engagement opportunities and continuity or linkages between programs where it makes sense. | CAFF Arctic Youth Engagement Strategy: 2021-2026 | 2021 | |||
Inspiring Arctic Voices Through Youth | Foster collaborations such as exchanges, meetings, or training with important Indigenous constituencies through the permanent participants and their associated youth programs. | CAFF Arctic Youth Engagement Strategy: 2021-2026 | 2021 | |||
Mainstreaming Biodiversity in Arctic Mining | Advice | A lack of trust and coordination: (1) within and among permitting agencies; (2) among agencies and the mining industry; and (3) across agencies, mining industry, and the public, especially in relation to Indigenous communities. Lack of coordination, meaningful communication (e.g., listening), transparency and follow-through among parties often results in enduring mistrust and missed opportunities for collaboration that could benefit biodiversity. Coordination and agreement on good sustainability practices could result in an improved public image and greatertrust of the mining industry. Advice to address Key Finding A: Government agencies could:
Mining industry could:
CAFF could:
