.Pohjoisilla maaseutualueilla on rikas, herkkä ja ratkaiseva biologinen monimuotoisuus. Sen suojelu liittyy alueen tutkijoiden, poliittisten päättäjien ja yhteisöjen yhteistyökykyyn. Tuomalla ihmiset yhteen toimiin, jotka keskittyvät yhteisöihin ja kohdistuvat haavoittuviin sidosryhmiin, CAP-SHARE pyrkii löytämään tehokkaampia tapoja työskennellä yhdessä luonnon monimuotoisuuden suojelemiseksi – alueemme luonnon, kulttuurin ja perinnön tulevaisuuden puolesta.

We will develop a model for effective collaboration towards biodiversity preservation and climate resilience within Arctic communities, with an emphasis on youth empowerment and the recognition of indigenous and local knowledge.
