A Call to Action: Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks

SEARCH partnered with the Wildlife Conservation Society and the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ International Arctic Research Center and the Department of Theatre and Film to produce a video call for action featured at the Second Arctic Science Ministerial held in Berlin in October 2018. The video featured hunters and community leaders from St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea and SEARCH scientists making the case for Arctic nations to “Coordinate and Sustain Observations.” The video highlighted the urgent need for sustained, long-term observations that include indigenous knowledge, community-based observations, and citizen science.
