CAFF LogoAttend the Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program’s Terrestrial Steering Group and Expert Networks’ Workshop: April 5-7, Uppsala, Sweden

Do you have Arctic terrestrial ecology and monitoring expertise? Do you live in or nearby Uppsala or would be able to fund a trip to Uppsala yourself? The Arctic Council’s Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna working group’s Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program (CBMP) is looking for one APECS member with Arctic terrestrial ecology and monitoring experience to join them at their annual meeting to discuss the implementation of the Arctic Terrestrial Biodiversity Monitoring Plan, April 5-7, 2016 in Uppsala, Sweden.

This workshop will kick-start the process to develop the State of the Arctic Terrestrial Biodiversity Report (START) and advance a work plan to further the coordination and delivery of Arctic terrestrial biodiversity monitoring.

Involvement in this workshop presents an excellent opportunity to have your biodiversity monitoring efforts and knowledge contribute towards the Arctic Council’s efforts to facilitate more rapid detection, communication, and response to the significant biodiversity-related events affecting the circumpolar world.

The START report is a key deliverable from the implementation of the Arctic Terrestrial Biodiversity Monitoring Plan, the third of four pan-Arctic biodiversity monitoring plans developed by the CBMP to improve the collective ability of national and sub-national research and monitoring networks, Arctic traditional knowledge holders, northern communities and scientists to detect, understand and report on long-term change in Arctic terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity.

Lunches will be provided at the meeting. Unfortunately there is no funding to support the candidate’s air travel or accommodation, but there is the potential for ground transportation (i.e., train) support.

If you are interested, please send a CV and a statement of interest letter including your research background and why you want to attend this meeting to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by 15 February 2016. The successful candidate will be notified shortly after. Thank you!
