The Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program, a cornerstone programme of the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF), Arctic Council working Group is an international network of scientists, government agencies, Indigenous organizations and conservation groups working together to harmonize and integrate efforts to monitor the Arctic&#39;s living resources.CBMP experts are developing four coordinated and integrated Arctic Biodiversity Monitoring Plans to help guide circumpolar monitoring efforts. Results will be channeled into effective conservation, mitigation and adaptation policies supporting the Arctic. These plans represent the Arctic&#39;s major ecosystems(Marine, Freshwater, Coastal, Terrestrial). It is important that monitoring programs develop the most effective reporting strategies if they are to inform decision making. To facilitate effective and consistent reporting, the CBMP has chosen a suite of indices and indicators that provide a comprehensive picture of the state of Arctic biodiversity – from species to habitats to ecosystem processes to ecological services. These indices and indicators are developed in a hierarchical manner, allowing users to drill down into the data from the higher-order indices to more detailed indicators. These are being developed through an expert consultation process. The Arctic Species Trend Index (ASTI) is part of this suite of indicators and indices developed by CAFFs CBMP. It tracks trends in over 300 Arctic vertebrate species and comprises the Arctic component of the Living Planet Index. It is important to identify how wildlife and ecosystems are changing in order to develop effective conservation and adaptation strategies in the Arctic, an environment undergoing dramatic changes. The ASTI describes overall trends across species, taxonomy, ecosystems, regions and other categories. <p>The Arctic Species Trend Index (ASTI) is part of a suite of indicators and indices developed by the Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program (CBMP).

The Kittlitz&#39;s Murrelet <i>Brachyramphus brevirostris</i> is a bird species of environmental concern, and only 21 confirmed nest locations are published for North America. Drastic population declines are reported in its southern distributional range. This bird is found in subarctic and warmer regions near glaciers, also occurring in Russia. A wider analysis of these nest sites is coming forward, and it appears that these nests are associated with glaciers and volcano slopes. However, this is only an impression based on the small sample of nests. Dataset credit &#61; ArcOD/AOOS 21 occurrences

This dataset comprises 114 records of Bryozoans from museum collections. Distributional data were gathered from a number of museum collection including the Zoological Institute in St. Petersburg; The Natural History Museum in London, UK; The Natural History Museum in Paris; The Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa and The Manchester Museum, U.K. Additionally samples collected by the Institute of Oceanology were used. 113 occurrences

Dataset of macrobenthos of southwest Greenland coast. 597 occurrences

This datasets has 10688 records representing 83 terminal taxa collected from the Kara Sea between 1997 and 2001. In the zooplankton, for which most data were available, four regional aggregations were separated: (1) the rivers and estuaries of the Southern Kara Sea, (2) the south-western and (3) the central Kara Sea, and (4) the northern troughs and slope. 10,687 occurrences
