WWF Global Arctic Programme 8d ago

The Arctic is one of the most rapidly changing regions of the world, with growing pressures from both climate change and industrial activity. Addressing these challenges requires informed and data-driven decisions, which is where GERANIUM comes in. GERANIUM is a conservation tool designed to support planners, scientists and policy makers in decision-making for marine conservation, so that human use of the Arctic is sustainable. Now and in the future. Explore GERANIUM: https://www.arcticwwf.org/geranium In our three-part video series, you will get introduced to GERANIUM and learn how you can use this tool to understand what biodiversity exists in the Arctic and where, how industrial scale human activities affect biodiversity and identify relevant areas and appropriate conservation measures. In this first video, Dr Martin Sommerkorn, Head of Conservation at WWF Global Arctic Programme and co-creator of GERANIUM, presents the tool and shares three reasons why GERANIUM is unique. GERANIUM is a part of ArcNet, a science-based blueprint for establishing a network of marine protected and conserved areas across the Arctic, to strengthen the resilience of Arctic biodiversity.
