The Arctic Wetlands and Indigenous Peoples Study

The Arctic Wetlands and Indigenous Peoples Study (AWIPS) is part the Resilience and Management of Arctic Wetlands Initiative (RMAWI), a project led by the Swedish Ministry of the Environment and Energy and the Stockholm Environment Institute through the Arctic Council´s Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) working group on biodiversity. AWIPS aims to capture the fundamental role Indigenous Peoples play in biodiversity conservation through engagement in Arctic wetland protected areas management. Find the report here.

December 2019 - I’m so very excited that the Arctic Wetlands and Indigenous Peoples Study (AWIPS) assessment report is now available! This report represents 16 months of research across the circumpolar north while I served as a Fulbright-NSF Arctic Research Fellow at the Arctic Council’s Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna working group on biodiversity in Akureyri, Iceland. I was given the opportunity to lead a research project that looks at how Indigenous peoples are engaged in the management and conservation of wetlands-associated protected areas. The study encompasses 35 protected areas of varying designation across all eight Arctic countries. Check it out!
