Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna

Flags of Canada, Finland, Greenland, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and the United States of America.

The Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) initiative involves collaboration among eight Arctic nations for more effective research, conservation managemant, and sustainable use of northern resources. The United States has agreed to develop a prototype geographic information system (GIS) for Alaska, which would potentially be a model for a circumpolar GIS.
